Section 10. The State Finance Act is amended by adding
Section 8g and changing Sections 8.20 and 8.25e as follows:
(30 ILCS 105/8.20) (from Ch. 127, par. 144.20)
Sec. 8.20. Appropriations for the ordinary and
contingent expenses of the Illinois Liquor Control Commission
shall be paid from the Dram Shop Fund. On August 30 of each
fiscal year's license period, an amount of money equal to the
number of retail liquor licenses issued for that fiscal year
multiplied by $50 shall be transferred from the Dram Shop
Fund and shall be deposited in the Youth Alcoholism and
Substance Abuse Prevention Fund. Beginning June 30, 1990 and
on June 30 of each subsequent year, any balance over
$5,000,000 remaining in the Dram Shop Fund shall be credited
to State liquor licensees and applied against their fees for
State liquor licenses for the following year. The amount
credited to each licensee shall be a proportion of the
balance in the Dram Shop Fund that is the same as the
proportion of the license fee paid by the licensee under
Section 5-3 of The Liquor Control Act of 1934, as now or
hereafter amended, for the period in which the balance was
accumulated to the aggregate fees paid by all licensees
during that period.
In addition to any other permitted use of moneys in the
Fund, and notwithstanding any restriction on the use of the
Fund, moneys in the Dram Shop Fund may be transferred to the
General Revenue Fund as authorized by Public Act 87-14. The
General Assembly finds that an excess of moneys existed in

30, 1991, requesting the Comptroller and Treasurer to
transfer an amount from the Fund to the General Revenue Fund
is hereby validated.

to a fund if such amount for that fund is equal to or less

fund in any fiscal year after the amount deposited into such
fund exceeds the amount of pari-mutuel tax deposited into
such fund during fiscal year 1986.
