resources | ||||||
10 | anticipated to be available in the fund in that fiscal year.

11 | The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the | ||||||
12 | amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be | ||||||
13 | practicable after receiving the direction
to transfer from the | ||||||
14 | Director of the Governor's Office of Management and
Budget.
