| fiscal year. With respect to the interest payable on variable | rate bonds, such certifications shall be calculated at the | maximum rate of interest that may be payable during the fiscal | year, after taking into account any credits permitted in the | related indenture or other instrument against the amount of | such interest required to be appropriated for the period. | (a) Except as provided for in subsection (b), on or before | the last day of each month, the State Treasurer and State | Comptroller shall transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to | the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund an | amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the principal of, | interest on, and premium, if any, on the bonds payable on their | next payment date, divided by the number of monthly transfers | occurring between the last previous payment date (or the | delivery date if no payment date has yet occurred) and the next | succeeding payment date. Interest payable on variable rate | bonds shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that | may be payable for the relevant period, after taking into | account any credits permitted in the related indenture or other | instrument against the amount of such interest required to be | appropriated for that period. Interest for which moneys have | already been deposited into the capitalized interest account | within the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund | shall not be included in the calculation of the amounts to be | transferred under this subsection.
| (b) On or before the last day of each month, the State |
| Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from the Capital | Projects Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and | Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the | principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the bonds | issued prior to January 1, 2012 pursuant to Section 4(d) of the | General Obligation Bond Act payable on their next payment date, | divided by the number of monthly transfers occurring between | the last previous payment date (or the delivery date if no | payment date has yet occurred) and the next succeeding payment | date. If the available balance in the Capital Projects Fund is | not sufficient for the transfer required in this subsection, | the State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer the | difference from the Road Fund to the General Obligation Bond | Retirement and Interest Fund; except that such Road Fund | transfers shall constitute a debt of the Capital Projects Fund | which shall be repaid according to subsection (c). Interest | payable on variable rate bonds shall be calculated at the | maximum rate of interest that may be payable for the relevant | period, after taking into account any credits permitted in the | related indenture or other instrument against the amount of | such interest required to be appropriated for that period. | Interest for which moneys have already been deposited into the | capitalized interest account within the General Obligation | Bond Retirement and Interest Fund shall not be included in the | calculation of the amounts to be transferred under this | subsection. |
| (c) On the first day of any month when the Capital Projects | Fund is carrying a debt to the Road Fund due to the provisions | of subsection (b), the State Treasurer and State Comptroller | shall transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to the Road Fund | an amount sufficient to discharge that debt. These transfers to | the Road Fund shall continue until the Capital Projects Fund | has repaid to the Road Fund all transfers made from the Road | Fund pursuant to subsection (b). Notwithstanding any other law | to the contrary, transfers to the Road Fund from the Capital | Projects Fund shall be made prior to any other expenditures or | transfers out of the Capital Projects Fund. | (Source: P.A. 96-36, eff. 7-13-09; 96-820, eff. 11-18-09; | 96-1554, eff. 3-18-11; 97-771, eff. 7-10-12.) | Section 10.
