represented in the General Assembly:

Section 8h as follows:

    (30 ILCS 105/8h)


7
    Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.  
8
    (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding 
9
any other
State law to the contrary, the Governor


may, through 
10
June 30, 2005
2007, from time to time direct the State 
11
Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer
a specified sum from any 
12
fund held by the State Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in 
13
order to help defray the State's operating costs for the
fiscal 
14
year.  The total transfer under this Section from any fund in 
15
any
fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the 
16
revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year 
17
or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% 
18
of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 
19
2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final 
20
balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State 
21
Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts 
22
determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act 
23
93-839
this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly to the 
24
funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a 
25
fund under this Section that would have the
effect of reducing 
26
the available balance in the fund to an amount less than
the 
27
amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total 
28
appropriation
from that fund estimated to be expended for that 
29
fiscal year.  This Section does not apply to any
funds that are 
30
restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in

31
the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Hospital Provider Fund, or the 
32
Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, or the Reviewing Court
