    Section 5. Fiscal year appropriations based on prior fiscal 
7
year appropriations. If appropriations have not been made by 
8
law before July 1 of a State fiscal year, then the items that 
9
were appropriated for the previous State fiscal year, including 
10
supplemental appropriations, are hereby appropriated for the 
11
State fiscal year beginning on that July 1, to the same 
12
agencies, from the same sources, for the same purposes, and 
13
subject to the same conditions, as those amounts ultimately 
14
became law, including any item reductions and restorations, 
15
item vetoes and overrides, and amendments to those 
16
appropriations.

    Section 10. Fiscal year reappropriations based on prior 
18
fiscal year reappropriations. If reappropriations have not

been made by law before July 1 of a State fiscal year, then the 
20
items that were reappropriated for the previous State fiscal 
21
year are again reappropriated for State fiscal year beginning 
22
on that July 1, to the same agencies, from the same sources,

and for the same purposes, but the amounts reappropriated shall

of the previous calendar year.

reappropriations. If appropriations and reappropriations for a

Public Act makes appropriations and reappropriations for the 
9
same State fiscal year, then, unless that later Public Act

and reappropriation under that later Public Act supersede the 
12
corresponding items of appropriation and reappropriation made 
13
pursuant to this Act, (ii) expenditures and obligations made 
14
under the authority of this Act are deemed to have been 
15
expended and obligated under the authority of the corresponding 
16
item of the later Public Act, (iii) amounts of expenditure made 
17
under the authority of this Act are to be subtracted from the 
18
corresponding item of appropriation or reappropriation in the 
19
later Public Act in determining the amounts available for 
20
expenditure under that later Public Act, and (iv) to the extent 
21
that expenditures approved by the Comptroller pursuant to 
22
appropriations and reappropriations under this Act prior to the 
23
effective date of that later Public Act exceed the new 
24
appropriation or reappropriation, the new appropriation or 
25
reappropriation is increased as a matter of law to the amount
