3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by adding

6     (30 ILCS 105/5.663 new)
7     Sec. 5.663. The African-American HIV/AIDS Response Fund.
 
8     (30 ILCS 105/8h)
9     Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.
10     (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding
11 any other State law to the contrary, the Governor may, through
12 June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and
13 Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by
14 the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to
15 help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
16 The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
17 fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the
18 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
19 or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25%
20 of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year
21 2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final
22 balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State
23 Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts
24 determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act
25 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may
26 be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
27 effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an
28 amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved
29 from the total appropriation from that fund estimated to be
30 expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to
31 any funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use,
