7     Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.
8 Notwithstanding any other State law to the contrary, the

10 from time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to
11 transfer a specified sum from any fund held by the State
12 Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
13 the State's operating costs for the fiscal year. The total
14 transfer under this Section from any fund in any fiscal year
15 shall not exceed the lesser of 8% of the revenues to be
16 deposited into the fund during that year or 25% of the

20 amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total
21 appropriation from that fund for that fiscal year. This Section
22 does not apply to any funds that are restricted by federal law
23 to a specific use, or to any funds in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund or
