| AN ACT concerning State government.
| 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 by adding Sections 5.640 and 6z-68 as follows: | 6 |
| (30 ILCS 105/5.640 new)
| 7 |
| Sec. 5.640. The Intercity Passenger Rail Fund.
| 8 |
| (30 ILCS 105/6z-68 new) | 9 |
| Sec. 6z-68. The Intercity Passenger Rail Fund. | 10 |
| (a) The Intercity Passenger Rail Fund is created as a | 11 |
| special fund in the State treasury. Moneys in the Fund may be | 12 |
| used by the Department of Transportation, subject to | 13 |
| appropriation, for the operation of intercity passenger rail | 14 |
| services in the State through Amtrak or its successor. | 15 |
| Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, | 16 |
| including, without limitation, income tax checkoff receipts | 17 |
| and gifts, grants, and awards from any public or private | 18 |
| entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any interest earned on | 19 |
| moneys in the Fund must be deposited into the Fund. | 20 |
| (b) At least one month before the beginning of each fiscal | 21 |
| year, the chief operating officer of Amtrak or its successor | 22 |
| must certify to the State Treasurer the number of Amtrak | 23 |
| tickets sold at the State rate during that current fiscal year. | 24 |
| On the first day of that next fiscal year, or as soon | 25 |
| thereafter as practical, the State Treasurer must transfer, | 26 |
| from the General Revenue Fund to the Intercity Passenger Rail | 27 |
| Fund, an amount equal to the tickets certified by the chief | 28 |
| operating officer of Amtrak multiplied by $50. | 29 |

| 1 |
| (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding | 2 |
| any other
State law to the contrary, the Governor
may, through | 3 |
| June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and | 4 |
| Comptroller to transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by | 5 |
| the State Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to | 6 |
| help defray the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. | 7 |
| The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
| 8 |
| fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the | 9 |
| revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | 10 |
| or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% | 11 |
| of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year | 12 |
| 2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final | 13 |
| balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State | 14 |
| Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts | 15 |
| determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act | 16 |
| 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may | 17 |
| be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
| 18 |
| effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an | 19 |
| amount less than
the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved | 20 |
| from the total appropriation
from that fund estimated to be | 21 |
| expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to | 22 |
| any
funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use, | 23 |
| to any funds in
the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity | 24 |
| Passenger Rail Fund, the Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid | 25 |
| Provider Relief Fund, or the Reviewing Court Alternative | 26 |
| Dispute Resolution Fund, or to any
funds to which subsection | 27 |
| (f) of Section 20-40 of the Nursing and Advanced Practice | 28 |
| Nursing Act applies. Notwithstanding any
other provision of | 29 |
| this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under | 30 |
| this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | 31 |
| Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | 32 |
| revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | 33 |
| or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | 34 |
| year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | 35 |
| transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | 36 |
| Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information |
