Sec. 15. Transfers to Budget Stabilization Fund. In furtherance of the State's objective for the Budget Stabilization Fund to have resources representing 7.5% of the State's annual general funds revenues:

(a)For each fiscal year when the General Assembly's appropriations and transfers or diversions as required by law from general funds do not exceed 99% of the estimated general funds revenues pursuant to subsection

(a)of Section 10, the Comptroller shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund as provided by this Section a total amount equal to 0.5% of the estimated general funds revenues to the Budget Stabilization Fund.

(b)For each fiscal year when the General Assembly's appropriations and transfers or diversions as required by law from general funds do not exceed 98% of the estimated general funds revenues pursuant to subsection

(b)of Section 10, the Comptroller shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund as provided by this Section a total amount equal to 1% of the estimated general funds revenues to the Budget Stabilization Fund.

(c)The Comptroller shall transfer 1/12 of the total amount to be transferred each fiscal year under this Section into the Budget Stabilization Fund on the first day of each month of that fiscal year or as soon thereafter as possible. The balance of the Budget Stabilization Fund shall not exceed 7.5% of the total of general funds revenues estimated for that fiscal year except as provided by subsection

(d)of this Section.

(d)If the balance of the Budget Stabilization Fund exceeds 7.5% of the total general funds revenues estimated for that fiscal year, the additional transfers are not required unless there are outstanding liabilities under Section 25 of the State Finance Act from prior fiscal years. If there are such outstanding Section 25 liabilities, then the Comptroller shall continue to transfer 1/12 of the total amount identified for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund on the first day of each month of that fiscal year or as soon thereafter as possible to be reserved for those Section 25 liabilities. Nothing in this Act prohibits the General Assembly from appropriating additional moneys into the Budget Stabilization Fund.

(e)On or before August 31 of each fiscal year, the amount determined to be transferred to the Budget Stabilization Fund shall be reconciled to actual general funds revenues for that fiscal year. The final transfer for each fiscal year shall be adjusted so that the total amount transferred under this Section is equal to the percentage specified in subsection

(a)or

(b)of this Section, as applicable, based on actual general funds revenues calculated consistently with subsection

(c)of Section 10 of this Act for each fiscal year.

(f)For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006 and for each fiscal year thereafter, the budget proposal to the General Assembly shall identify liabilities incurred in a prior fiscal year under Section 25 of the State Finance Act and the budget proposal shall provide funding as allowable pursuant to subsection

(d)of this Section, if applicable.
