million four hundred thousand dollars from annual collections of

the tax imposed by article twenty-one, chapter eleven of this code

as a portion of the revenue source dedicated to satisfy the Old

to section IX(c)(1) of the master settlement agreement and the

anticipated strategic compensation payments to be received pursuant

to section IX(c)(2) of the master settlement agreement as

previously dedicated to the Old Fund prior to the sale of state's

each calendar year to the credit of the Old Fund created in article

two-d, chapter twenty-three of this code in accordance with the

following schedule. Each calendar month, except for July, August and September each year, five million six hundred thousand dollars

shall be transferred, on or before the twenty-eighth day of the

pursuant to this section are in addition to the transfers pursuant

to section ninety-six, article twenty-one, chapter eleven of this

code.

(c) Expiration. -- The transfers required by this section

shall continue to be made until the Governor certifies to the

Legislature that an independent actuary study determined that the

unfunded liability of the Old Fund, as defined in chapter

twenty-three of this code, has been paid or provided for in its

entirety. No transfer pursuant to this section shall be made

thereafter.
