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

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

    Section 10. The Roadside Memorial Act is amended by
changing Section 20 as follows:
 
    (605 ILCS 125/20)
    Sec. 20. DUI memorial markers.
    (a) A DUI memorial marker shall consist of a white on blue
panel bearing the message "Please Don't Drink and Drive". At
the request of the qualified relative, a separate panel bearing
the words "In Memory of (victim's name)", followed by the date
of the crash that was the proximate cause of the loss of the
victim's life, shall be mounted below the primary panel.
    (b) A DUI memorial marker may memorialize more than one
victim who died as a result of the same DUI-related crash. If
one or more additional DUI crash deaths subsequently occur in
close proximity to an existing DUI memorial marker, the
supporting jurisdiction may use the same marker to memorialize
the subsequent death or deaths, by adding the names of the
additional persons.
    (c) A DUI memorial marker shall be maintained for at least
2 years from the date the last person was memorialized on the
marker.
    (d) The supporting jurisdiction has the right to install a
marker at a location other than the location of the crash or to
relocate a marker due to restricted room, property owner
complaints, interference with essential traffic control
devices, safety concerns, or other restrictions. In such cases,
the sponsoring jurisdiction may select an alternate location.
    (e) The Department shall secure the consent of any
municipality before placing a DUI memorial marker within the
corporate limits of the municipality.
    (f) A fee in an amount to be determined by the supporting
jurisdiction may be paid in whole or in part from the Roadside
Memorial Fund if moneys are made available by the Department of
Transportation from that Fund or may be charged to the
qualified relative to the extent moneys from that Fund are not
made available. The fee shall not exceed the costs associated
with the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of the DUI
memorial marker.
