Except as otherwise provided in this Section and Section 8n of this Act, and notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, additional amounts generated by the new and increased fees created or authorized by Public Acts 93-22, 93-23, 93-24, and 93-32 shall be allocated between the fund otherwise entitled to receive the fee and the General Revenue Fund by the Governor. In determining the amount of the allocation to the General Revenue Fund, the Governor shall calculate whether the available resources in the fund are sufficient to satisfy the unexpended and unreserved appropriations from the fund for the fiscal year.
     In calculating the available resources in a fund, the Governor may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and other resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that fiscal year.
