8     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and
9 Section 8n of this Act, and (c), (d), or (e), 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
