3 Equity Trust Fund, or the Hospital Basic Services Preservation
4 Fund, or to any funds to which subsection (f) of Section 20-40
5 of the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act applies. No
6 transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet

8 of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total transfer under
9 this Section from the Road Fund or the State Construction
10 Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the
11 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
12 or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund. For fiscal
13 year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be
