17 | (d) In any State fiscal year in which the Employment Cost | ||||||

| ||||||
26 | State. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) State agencies listed in subsection (c), for any State
| ||||||
2 | fiscal year in which a cost of doing business increase has been
| ||||||
3 | applied as set forth under subsection (c), shall report to the
| ||||||
4 | Governor and the General Assembly by September 1 of the | ||||||
5 | following
fiscal year on the total amount of a cost of doing | ||||||
6 | business increase that was applied by each State agency to | ||||||
7 | private community-based contractual providers or grantees. | ||||||
8 | These reports shall include specific information on the types | ||||||
9 | of private community-based contractual providers or grantees | ||||||
10 | that received a cost of doing business increase and the total | ||||||
11 | amount received. The reports shall be presented by the Director | ||||||
12 | of each State agency listed in subsection (c) or his or her | ||||||
13 | designee to the appropriate Appropriations Committee in the | ||||||
14 | Illinois House of Representatives, as determined by the Speaker | ||||||
15 | of the House, and in the Illinois Senate, as determined by the | ||||||
16 | President of the Senate. | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | Section 4 of the General Assembly Compensation Act. | ||||||
20 | "Grant" has the meaning set forth in Section 1-15.42 of the
| ||||||
21 | Illinois Procurement Code. | ||||||
22 | "Purchase of care contract" means a contract between a
| ||||||
23 | State officer or agency and a private provider under which
| ||||||
24 | rates for services are set in accordance with a formula that
| ||||||
25 | takes personnel, supplies, and other allowable costs into
| ||||||
26 | account. The term "purchase of care contract" does not include
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any contract for a provider of medical services. | ||||||
2 | (h) This Section is repealed on January 1, 2013. | ||||||
3 | (30 ILCS 105/8h)
| ||||||
4 | Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund. | ||||||
5 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and | ||||||
6 | Section 8n of this Act, and
notwithstanding any other
State law | ||||||
7 | to the contrary, the Governor
may, through June 30, 2007, from | ||||||
8 | time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to | ||||||
9 | transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by the State | ||||||
10 | Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray | ||||||
11 | the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. The total | ||||||
12 | transfer under this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year | ||||||
13 | shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be | ||||||
14 | deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an | ||||||
15 | amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July | ||||||
16 | 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only, | ||||||
17 | prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the | ||||||
18 | Governor may calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the | ||||||
19 | Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by | ||||||
20 | applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the | ||||||
21 | funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a | ||||||
22 | fund under this Section that would have the
effect of reducing | ||||||
23 | the available balance in the fund to an amount less than
the | ||||||
24 | amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total | ||||||
25 | appropriation
from that fund estimated to be expended for that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any
funds that are | ||||||
2 | restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in
| ||||||
3 | the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity Passenger Rail Fund, the | ||||||
4 | Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, the | ||||||
5 | Teacher Health Insurance Security Fund, the Reviewing Court | ||||||
6 | Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund, the Voters' Guide Fund, | ||||||

8 | Program Fund, the Supreme Court Federal Projects Fund, the | ||||||
9 | Supreme Court Special State Projects Fund, the Supplemental | ||||||
10 | Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, the Good Samaritan Energy | ||||||
11 | Trust Fund, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility | ||||||
12 | Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing Equity Trust | ||||||
13 | Fund, the Metabolic Screening and Treatment Fund, or the | ||||||

16 | transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet | ||||||
17 | Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision | ||||||
18 | of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under | ||||||
19 | this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | ||||||
20 | Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | ||||||
21 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | ||||||
22 | or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | ||||||
23 | year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | ||||||
24 | transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | ||||||
25 | Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
26 | Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the |
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
2 | In determining the available balance in a fund, the | ||||||
3 | Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and | ||||||
4 | other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that | ||||||
5 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
