| AN ACT concerning State finance.
| 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 as follows: | 6 |
| (30 ILCS 105/8h)
| 7 |
| Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund. | 8 |
| (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) and subsection (c) | 9 |
| of this Section , notwithstanding any other
State law to the | 10 |
| contrary, the Governor
may, through June 30, 2007, from time to | 11 |
| time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer
a | 12 |
| specified sum from any fund held by the State Treasurer to the | 13 |
| General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray the State's | 14 |
| operating costs for the
fiscal year. The total transfer under | 15 |
| this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year shall not exceed | 16 |
| the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be deposited
into the | 17 |
| fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an amount that leaves a | 18 |
| remaining fund balance of 25% of the July 1 fund balance of | 19 |
| that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only, prior to | 20 |
| calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the Governor may | 21 |
| calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the Comptroller | 22 |
| to transfer additional amounts determined by applying the | 23 |
| formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the funds balances | 24 |
| on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a fund under this | 25 |
| Section that would have the
effect of reducing the available | 26 |
| balance in the fund to an amount less than
the amount remaining | 27 |
| unexpended and unreserved from the total appropriation
from | 28 |
| that fund estimated to be expended for that fiscal year. This | 29 |
| Section does not apply to any
funds that are restricted by | 30 |
| federal law to a specific use, to any funds in
the Motor Fuel | 31 |
| Tax Fund, the Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid Provider | 32 |
| Relief Fund, or the Reviewing Court Alternative Dispute |

| Resolution Fund, or to any
funds to which subsection (f) of | 2 |
| Section 20-40 of the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act | 3 |
| applies. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section, | 4 |
| for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under this Section | 5 |
| from the Road Fund or the State
Construction Account Fund shall | 6 |

| Fund, the Criminal Justice Information Systems Trust Fund, the | 12 |
| Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the Mandatory Arbitration | 13 |
| Fund.
| 14 |

| fiscal year.

| Accountability, the State Comptroller, and the State | 28 |
| Treasurer. The State Comptroller and State Treasurer shall not | 29 |
| make any such transfer until 30 days after that notice has been | 30 |
