(b) Notwithstanding any provision of §11B-2-20 of this code to the contrary, on or before July 30, 2026, and each July 30 thereafter, the amount of $5 million from the interest and other return earned that may accrue on the moneys in the Revenue Shortfall Reserve Fund – Part B during the next preceding fiscal year shall be transferred to the Tobacco Cessation Initiative Program Special Revenue Account and expended solely for the purposes set forth in this article.
