1 | AN ACT concerning finance.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Sections 8.8b and 8h as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (30 ILCS 105/8.8b) (from Ch. 127, par. 144.8b)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 8.8b. Transfers from Grade Crossing Protection Fund. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) In addition
to any other permitted use of moneys in the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Fund, and notwithstanding any
restriction on the use of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Fund, moneys in the Grade Crossing Protection
Fund may be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | transferred to the General Revenue Fund as authorized by Public
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Act 87-14. The General Assembly finds that an excess of moneys | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | existed in
the Fund on July 30, 1991, and the Governor's order | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | of July 30, 1991,
requesting the Comptroller and Treasurer to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | transfer an amount from the
Fund to the General Revenue Fund is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | hereby validated.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | of the 96th General Assembly, the Grade Crossing Protection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | Fund is not subject to sweeps, administrative charges, or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | charge-backs, including but not limited to those authorized | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | under Section 8h of the State Finance Act, or any other fiscal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | or budgetary maneuver that would in any way transfer any funds | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund into any other fund of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the State unless specifically authorized by law. | ||||||
2 | (Source: P.A. 90-372, eff. 7-1-98.)
| ||||||
3 | (30 ILCS 105/8h)
| ||||||
4 | Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund. | ||||||
5 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and | ||||||
6 | Section 8n of this Act, and
notwithstanding any other
State law | ||||||
7 | to the contrary, the Governor
may, through June 30, 2007, from | ||||||
8 | time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to | ||||||
9 | transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by the State | ||||||
10 | Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray | ||||||
11 | the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. The total | ||||||
12 | transfer under this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year | ||||||
13 | shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be | ||||||
14 | deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an | ||||||
15 | amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July | ||||||
16 | 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only, | ||||||
17 | prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the | ||||||
18 | Governor may calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the | ||||||
19 | Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by | ||||||
20 | applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the | ||||||
21 | funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a | ||||||
22 | fund under this Section that would have the
effect of reducing | ||||||
23 | the available balance in the fund to an amount less than
the | ||||||
24 | amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total | ||||||
25 | appropriation
from that fund estimated to be expended for that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any
funds that are | ||||||
2 | restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in
| ||||||
3 | the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity Passenger Rail Fund, the | ||||||
4 | Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, the | ||||||
5 | Teacher Health Insurance Security Fund, the Reviewing Court | ||||||
6 | Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund, the Voters' Guide Fund, | ||||||
7 | the Foreign Language Interpreter Fund, the Lawyers' Assistance | ||||||
8 | Program Fund, the Supreme Court Federal Projects Fund, the | ||||||
9 | Supreme Court Special State Projects Fund, the Supplemental | ||||||
10 | Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, the Good Samaritan Energy | ||||||
11 | Trust Fund, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility | ||||||
12 | Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing Equity Trust | ||||||
13 | Fund, the Metabolic Screening and Treatment Fund, or the | ||||||
14 | Hospital Basic Services Preservation Fund, or to any
funds to | ||||||
15 | which Section 70-50 of the Nurse Practice Act applies. No | ||||||
16 | transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet | ||||||
17 | Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision | ||||||
18 | of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under | ||||||
19 | this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | ||||||
20 | Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | ||||||
21 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | ||||||
22 | or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | ||||||
23 | year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | ||||||
24 | transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | ||||||
25 | Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
26 | Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
| ||||||
2 | In determining the available balance in a fund, the | ||||||
3 | Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and | ||||||
4 | other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that | ||||||
5 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
6 | The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the | ||||||
7 | amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be | ||||||
8 | practicable after receiving the direction

13 | redirected as provided in Section 8n of this Act.
