1         Department shall deposit the application fees for the

2     Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.
3     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and
4 Section 8n of this Act, and (c), (d), or (e), notwithstanding
5 any other State law to the contrary, the Governor may, through
6 June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and
7 Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by
8 the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to
9 help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
10 The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
11 fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the
12 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year

19 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may
20 be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
21 effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an
22 amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved
23 from the total appropriation from that fund estimated to be
24 expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to
25 any funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use,
