thereafter as practical, for the purpose of accessing enhanced
federal Medicaid matching funds that expire on June 30, 2011,
on or after June 20, 2011 and no later than June 25, 2011 the

HB2934 Engrossed - 2 - LRB097 06801 KTG 46892 b
expenditures properly supported by appropriations from the
fund, then the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller shall
transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the fund only such
amount as is immediately necessary to satisfy outstanding
expenditure obligations on a timely basis, subject to the
provisions of the State Prompt Payment Act. All or a portion of
the amounts transferred from the General Revenue Fund to a fund
pursuant to this subsection (b) from time to time may be
re-transferred by the State Comptroller and the State Treasurer
from the receiving fund into the General Revenue Fund as soon
as and to the extent that deposits are made into or receipts
are collected by the receiving fund.
If the General Revenue Fund has insufficient cash from
which the State Comptroller may make repayments to the Water
Revolving Fund or the General Obligation Bond Retirement and
Interest Fund in order to satisfy any immediate federal or
State obligations, then the Governor, the State Treasurer, and
the State Comptroller shall transfer from special funds of the
State, excluding the Road Fund, to the extent allowed by
federal law, to the Water Revolving Fund or the General
Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund only such amount
as is immediately necessary to satisfy outstanding expenditure
obligations on a timely basis, subject to provisions of the
State Prompt Payment Act. 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 the

provision of this Section, no such transfer may be made from
any special fund that is exclusively collected by or
appropriated to any other constitutional officer without the
written approval of that constitutional officer. Any moneys
transferred pursuant to this subsection shall be repaid from
the General Revenue Fund to the fund of origin by August 31,
2011.
(c) By no later than July 30, 2011, any amounts transferred
from the Water Revolving Fund or the General Obligation Bond

Section shall be transferred back and receipted by the General
Revenue Fund and the Healthcare and Provider Relief Fund. These
transfers back to the funds of origin shall be made and
receipted notwithstanding any other State law to the contrary.
If the General Revenue Fund has insufficient cash from
which the State Comptroller may make repayments to the Water
Revolving Fund or the General Obligation Bond Retirement and
Interest Fund in order to satisfy any immediate federal or
State obligations, then the Governor, the State Treasurer, and
the State Comptroller shall transfer from special funds of the
State, excluding the Road Fund, to the extent allowed by
federal law, to the Water Revolving Fund or the General
Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund only such amount

HB2934 Engrossed - 4 - LRB097 06801 KTG 46892 b
as is immediately necessary to satisfy outstanding expenditure
obligations on a timely basis, subject to provisions of the
State Prompt Payment Act. 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 the
months of July and August 2011. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section, no such transfer may be made from
any special fund that is exclusively collected by or
appropriated to any other constitutional officer without the
written approval of that constitutional officer. Any moneys
transferred pursuant to this subsection shall be repaid from
the General Revenue Fund to the fund of origin by August 31,
2011.
Section 10. Interest payable to the Water Revolving Fund
and the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund.
As soon as practical after all amounts initially transferred
from the Water Revolving Fund and the General Obligation Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund have been transferred back
pursuant to Section 5 of this Act, the State Treasurer shall
calculate the amounts of interest that would have accrued to
any special State fund that transferred moneys into the General
Revenue Fund for the purposes of this Act if those transfers
had not occurred and transfer those amounts from the General

Revenue Fund to those special funds of the State.
