30 applies. No transfers may be made under this Section from the
31 Pet Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any other
32 provision of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total
33 transfer under this Section from the Road Fund or the State

14 practicable after receiving the direction to transfer from the
15 Governor.
16     (b) This Section does not apply to: (i) the Ticket For The

18 Senior Services and Resources Act; or (iii) (ii) on or after
