| 3 |  | unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome because the delay in  | 
| 4 |  | payment was due to an incident caused by the operation of an  | 
| 5 |  | extraordinary force, including, but not limited to, the  |

 | 
| 10 |  | The Transfer Tax Collection Distributive Fund is created as a  | 
| 11 |  | special fund in the
State treasury. The Fund is a continuation  | 
| 12 |  | of the Fund of the same name
created under the Illinois Estate  | 
| 13 |  | Tax Law, repealed by this Act. As soon
as may be after the  | 
| 14 |  | first
day of each month after
the effective date of this Act,  | 
| 15 |  | and before September 1, 2012, the State Treasurer
shall  | 
| 16 |  | transfer from the General Revenue Fund to
the Transfer Tax  | 
| 17 |  | Collection Distributive
Fund an amount equal to 6% of the net  | 
| 18 |  | revenue realized from this Act
during the preceding month. 
 | 
| 19 |  |  As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the  | 
| 20 |  | State Treasurer shall
allocate among the counties of this  | 
| 21 |  | State the amount available in the
Transfer Tax Collection  | 
| 22 |  | Distributive Fund. The allocation to each county
shall be 6%  | 
| 23 |  | of the net revenues collected by the county treasurer under
 | 
| 24 |  | this Act. The State Comptroller, pursuant to appropriation,  | 
| 25 |  | shall then pay
those allocations over to the counties. As soon  | 
| 26 |  | as possible after all of the required monthly allocations are  |

| 8 |  | from the taxes, interest, and penalties collected under this  |

| 10 |  | those amounts shall be deposited into the Estate Tax Refund  | 
| 11 |  | Fund, a special fund created in the State treasury.  | 
| 12 |  |  Moneys in the Estate Tax Refund Fund shall be expended  | 
| 13 |  | exclusively for the purpose of paying refunds resulting from  | 
| 14 |  | overpayment of tax liability under this Act, except that,  | 
| 15 |  | whenever the State Treasurer determines that any such moneys  | 
| 16 |  | in the Fund exceed the amount required for the purpose of  | 
| 17 |  | paying refunds resulting from overpayment of tax liability  | 
| 18 |  | under this Act, the State Treasurer may transfer any such  | 
| 19 |  | excess amounts from the Estate Tax Refund Fund to the General  | 
| 20 |  | Revenue Fund.  | 
| 21 |  |  The Treasurer shall order payment of refunds resulting  | 
| 22 |  | from overpayment of tax liability under this Act from the  | 
| 23 |  | Estate Tax Refund Fund only to the extent that amounts have  | 
| 24 |  | been deposited and retained in the Fund.  |
