Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1993 and thereafter until the sum of $31,200,000 is paid to the General Revenue Fund, the State Comptroller shall order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer from the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund (formerly known as the Illinois Beach Marina Fund) to the General Revenue Fund 35% of revenue deposited into the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund (formerly known as the Illinois Beach Marina Fund) in any fiscal year. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 1991 and thereafter until the sum of $8,000,000 is paid to the State Boating Act Fund the State Comptroller shall order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer from the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund (formerly known as the Illinois Beach Marina Fund) to the State Boating Act Fund 15% of the revenue deposited into the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund (formerly known as the Illinois Beach Marina Fund). Beginning in fiscal year 1992, the transfers from the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund (formerly known as the Illinois Beach Marina Fund) to the State Boating Act Fund shall be made only at the direction of and in the amount authorized by the Department of Natural Resources. Moneys transferred under authorization of this Section to the State Boating Act Fund in fiscal year 1992 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1991 may be transferred to the Illinois Beach Marina Fund (now known as the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund) at the direction of the Department of Natural Resources. The transfers required under this Section shall be made within 30 days after the end of each quarter based on the State Comptroller's record of receipts for the quarter, except that no transfers shall be made under this Section beginning in State fiscal year 2017 through State fiscal year 2021. The initial transfers shall be made within 30 days after June 30, 1990 based on revenues received in the preceding quarter. Additional transfers in excess of the limits established under this Section may be authorized by the Department of Natural Resources for accelerated payback of the amount due.

(b) The Department may, subject to appropriations by the General Assembly, use moneys in the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach Marina Fund (formerly known as the Illinois Beach Marina Fund) to pay for operation, maintenance, repairs, or improvements to the marina project; provided, however, that payment of the amounts due under the terms of subsection (a) shall have priority on all moneys deposited in this Fund.
