B. Two million dollars of the revenues from the taxes imposed under Title 36, Parts 3 and 8 and credited to the General Fund, transferred to the fund by the State Controller on or before January 1st of each year, beginning January 1, 1999. These revenues must be offset in an equitable manner by an equivalent reduction within the administrative divisions of the legislative branch and executive branch agencies.

(1) Up to $2,000,000 no later than February 28, 2006, reflecting an advance of the transfer of the amounts that would be received on or before January 1, 2007 pursuant to this paragraph; and
(2) Up to $2,000,000 no later than July 31, 2006, reflecting an advance of the transfer of the amounts that would be received on or before January 1, 2008 pursuant to this paragraph;
