with the advice and approval of the  Comptroller,  adopt  and
implement  rules  establishing  a  system  for the electronic
transfer of funds to school districts,  regional  offices  of

office of education, must provide a resolution to  the  State

The  procedures  in  effect  on  the  effective  date of this
amendatory Act of 1994 for payment  by  the  State  Board  of
Education  shall  remain  in  effect  until  those rules take
effect.
