11 July 1, 2006 or within 30 days after the effective date of this
12 amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, whichever is

29 of the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act applies. No
30 transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet
31 Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision
32 of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total transfer under

34 Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the
35 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
