2     AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 158 on page 1,

5     "Section 3. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
6 Section 8h as follows:
 
7     (30 ILCS 105/8h)
8     Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.
9     (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding
10 any other State law to the contrary, the Governor may, through
11 June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and
12 Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by
13 the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to
14 help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
15 The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
16 fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the
17 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
18 or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25%
19 of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year
20 2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final
21 balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State
22 Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts
23 determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act
24 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may

1 be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
2 effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an
3 amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved

6 any funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use,
7 to any funds in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Hospital Provider
8 Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, or the Reviewing Court

10 subsection (f) of Section 20-40 of the Nursing and Advanced
11 Practice Nursing Act applies. Notwithstanding any other
12 provision of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total
13 transfer under this Section from the Road Fund or the State
14 Construction Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5%
15 of the revenues to be deposited into the fund during that
16 fiscal year or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
17 For fiscal year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may
18 be transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State
19 Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information
20 Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the
21 Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
22     In determining the available balance in a fund, the
23 Governor may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and
24 other resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that
25 fiscal year.
26     The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the
27 amounts designated under this Section as soon as may be
28 practicable after receiving the direction to transfer from the
29 Governor.
30     (b) This Section does not apply to any fund established
31 under the Community Senior Services and Resources Act.
32     (c) This Section does not apply to moneys set aside in the
33 Illinois State Podiatric Disciplinary Fund for podiatric
34 scholarships and residency programs under the Podiatric
