1 | AN ACT concerning vehicles.
| ||||||
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 | Section 8h and adding Section 5.663 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (30 ILCS 105/5.663 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 5.663. The Support Our Troops Fund. | ||||||

| ||||||
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 | ||||||

6 | Fund, the Lawyers' Assistance Program Fund, the Supreme Court | ||||||
7 | Federal Projects Fund, the Supreme Court Special State Projects | ||||||
8 | Fund, or the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility Development | ||||||
9 | and Operation Fund, or the Hospital Basic Services Preservation | ||||||
10 | Fund, or to any
funds to which subsection (f) of Section 20-40 | ||||||
11 | of the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act applies. No | ||||||
12 | transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet | ||||||
13 | Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision | ||||||
14 | of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under | ||||||
15 | this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | ||||||
16 | Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | ||||||
17 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | ||||||
18 | or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | ||||||
19 | year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | ||||||
20 | transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | ||||||
21 | Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
22 | Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the | ||||||
23 | Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
| ||||||
24 | In determining the available balance in a fund, the | ||||||
25 | Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and | ||||||
26 | other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that | ||||||
27 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
28 | The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the | ||||||
29 | amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be | ||||||
30 | practicable after receiving the direction
to transfer from the | ||||||
31 | Governor.
