The Board's budget for its fiscal year ending in 1982 and for each subsequent fiscal year shall be balanced in accordance with an accounting system and procedure to be prescribed by the Authority, with substantial progress toward balancing the budget to be achieved in each of the preceding fiscal years; provided, however, that (1) for the fiscal year of the Board ending in 1992, the aggregate amount of the reserved fund balances required to be maintained by the Board under its budget for that fiscal year as last balanced by the Board and approved by the Authority prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1992 in accordance with the accounting system and procedure prescribed by the Authority is hereby reduced by $13,266,200, (2) the $13,266,200 released from reserved fund balance requirements in fiscal year 1992 by this amendatory Act of 1992 shall be available to the Board for appropriation by it for any lawful school purpose during its fiscal year ending in 1992, and (3) the Authority shall not require the $13,266,200 released from reserved fund balance requirements in fiscal year 1992 by this amendatory Act of 1992 to be restored by the Board under any regular, supplemental or amended budget adopted for any fiscal year ending in 1992 or thereafter. For the fiscal year of the Board ending in 1994, the aggregate amount of the reserved fund balances required to be maintained by the Board under its budget for that fiscal year in accordance with the accounting system and procedure prescribed by the Authority as of the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1993 is hereby reduced by $22,000,000. The $22,000,000 released from reserved fund balance requirements in fiscal year 1994 by this amendatory Act of 1993 shall be available to the Board for appropriation by it for any lawful school purpose during its fiscal year ending in 1994.
