1 | AN ACT concerning 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 otherwise provided in this Section and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Section 8n of this Act, and (c), (d), or (e),
notwithstanding | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | any other
State law to the contrary, the Governor
may, through | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Comptroller to transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | the State Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | help defray the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may | ||||||
2 | be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
| ||||||
3 | effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an | ||||||
4 | amount less than
the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved | ||||||
5 | from the total appropriation
from that fund estimated to be | ||||||
6 | expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to | ||||||
7 | any
funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use, | ||||||
8 | to any funds in
the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity | ||||||
9 | Passenger Rail Fund, the Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid | ||||||
10 | Provider Relief Fund, the Teacher Health Insurance Security | ||||||
11 | Fund, the Reviewing Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund, | ||||||
12 | the Voters' Guide Fund, the Foreign Language Interpreter Fund, | ||||||
13 | the Lawyers' Assistance Program Fund, the Supreme Court Federal | ||||||
14 | Projects Fund, the Supreme Court Special State Projects Fund, | ||||||
15 | the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, the Good | ||||||
16 | Samaritan Energy Trust Fund, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste | ||||||
17 | Facility Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing | ||||||
18 | Equity Trust Fund, or the Hospital Basic Services Preservation | ||||||
19 | Fund, or to any
funds to which subsection (f) of Section 20-40 | ||||||
20 | of the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act applies. No | ||||||
21 | transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet | ||||||
22 | Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision | ||||||
23 | of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under | ||||||
24 | this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | ||||||
25 | Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | ||||||
26 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | ||||||
2 | year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | ||||||
3 | transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | ||||||
4 | Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
5 | Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the | ||||||
6 | Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
| ||||||
7 | In determining the available balance in a fund, the | ||||||
8 | Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and | ||||||
9 | other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that | ||||||
10 | 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 | Governor.
| ||||||
15 | (a-5) Transfers directed to be made under this Section on | ||||||
16 | or before February 28, 2006 that are still pending on May 19, | ||||||

this amendatory | ||||||
18 | Act of the 94th General Assembly shall be redirected as | ||||||
19 | provided in Section 8n of this Act.
| ||||||
20 | (b) This Section does not apply to: (i) the Ticket For The | ||||||
21 | Cure Fund; (ii) any fund established under the Community Senior | ||||||
22 | Services and Resources Act; or (iii) on or after January 1, | ||||||
23 | 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-511), the Child Labor | ||||||
24 | and Day and Temporary Labor Enforcement Fund. | ||||||

| ||||||

10 | transferred under this Section from a fund containing moneys | ||||||
11 | collected from any fee imposed by the State or by a State | ||||||
12 | agency, then, each person who pays that fee at any time during | ||||||
13 | the current fiscal year must be notified of the transfer at the | ||||||
