AN ACT concerning finance.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing |
Section 8h as follows:
|
(30 ILCS 105/8h)
|
Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund. |
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and |
Section 8n of this Act, and
notwithstanding any other
State law |
to the contrary, the Governor
may, through June 30, 2007, from |
time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to |
transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by the State |
Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray |
the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. The total |
transfer under this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year |
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be |
deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an |
amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July |
1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only, |
prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the |
Governor may calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the |
Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by |
applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the |
|
funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a |
fund under this Section that would have the
effect of reducing |
the available balance in the fund to an amount less than
the |
amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total |
appropriation
from that fund estimated to be expended for that |
fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any
funds that are |
restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in
|
the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity Passenger Rail Fund, the |
Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, the |
Teacher Health Insurance Security Fund, the Reviewing Court |
Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund, the Voters' Guide Fund, |
the Foreign Language Interpreter Fund, the Lawyers' Assistance |
Program Fund, the Supreme Court Federal Projects Fund, the |
Supreme Court Special State Projects Fund, the Supplemental |
Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, the Good Samaritan Energy |
Trust Fund, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility |
Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing Equity Trust |
Fund, the Metabolic Screening and Treatment Fund, or the |
Hospital Basic Services Preservation Fund, or to any
funds to |
which Section 70-50 of the Nurse Practice Act applies. No |
transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet |
Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision |
of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under |
this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction |
Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the |
revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year |
|
or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal |
year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be |
transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State |
Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information |
Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the |
Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
|
In determining the available balance in a fund, the |
Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and |
other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that |
fiscal year.
|
The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the |
amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be |
practicable after receiving the direction
to transfer from the |
Governor.
|
(a-5) Transfers directed to be made under this Section on |
or before February 28, 2006 that are still pending on May 19, |
2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-774) shall be |
redirected as provided in Section 8n of this Act.
|
(b) This Section does not apply to: (i) the Ticket For The |
Cure Fund; (ii) any fund established under the Community Senior |
Services and Resources Act; or (iii) on or after January 1, |
2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-511), the Child Labor |
and Day and Temporary Labor Enforcement Fund. |
(c) This Section does not apply to the Demutualization |
Trust Fund established under the Uniform Disposition of |
Unclaimed Property Act.

|
(d) This Section does not apply to moneys set aside in the |
Illinois State Podiatric Disciplinary Fund for podiatric |
scholarships and residency programs under the Podiatric |
Scholarship and Residency Act. |
(e) Subsection (a) does not apply to, and no transfer may |
be made under this Section from, the Pension Stabilization |
Fund.
|
(f) Subsection (a) does not apply to, and no transfer may |
be made under this Section from, the Illinois Power Agency |
Operations Fund, the Illinois Power Agency Facilities Fund, the |
Illinois Power Agency Debt Service Fund, and the Illinois Power |
Agency Trust Fund.

Historic Preservation Fund.
