Sec. 2-15. Residual fund balance. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section,
all funds which remain in the Downstate Public Transportation Fund or the
Metro-East Public Transportation Fund after the payment of the fourth quarterly
payment to participants other than Metro-East Transit District
participants and the last monthly payment to Metro-East Transit
participants in each fiscal year shall be transferred (i) to the
General Revenue Fund through fiscal year 2008 and (ii) to the Downstate Transit Improvement Fund for fiscal year 2009 and each fiscal year thereafter. Transfers shall be made no later than 90 days following the end of such fiscal
year. Beginning fiscal year 2010, all moneys each year in the Downstate Transit Improvement Fund, held solely for the benefit of the participants in the Downstate Public Transportation Fund and shall be appropriated to the Department to make competitive capital grants to the participants of the respective funds. However, such amount as the Department determines to be necessary
for (1) allocation to participants for the purposes of Section 2-7 for
the first quarter of the succeeding fiscal year and (2) an amount equal to
2% of the total allocations to participants in the fiscal year just ended
to be used for the purpose of audit adjustments shall be retained in such
Funds to be used by the Department for such purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any other transfers that may be provided by law, on July 1, 2011, or as soon thereafter as practical, the State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer the remaining balance from the Metro East Public Transportation Fund into the General Revenue Fund. Upon completion of the transfers, the Metro East Public Transportation Fund is dissolved, and any future deposits due to that Fund and any outstanding obligations or liabilities of that Fund pass to the General Revenue Fund.
