 14        SECTION 6.  The reappropriation granted in Section 5 of this act  is  sub-
 15    ject to the following provisions:
 16        (1)  If  the  unexpended  and  unencumbered balance in the General Fund on

 18    of this act is hereby declared to be null and void.

 20    June  30,  2004, is greater than zero but less than the total General Fund re-
 21    appropriation authority granted to all state agencies, the amount  of  General
 22    Fund  money reappropriated in Section 5 of this act shall be in the proportion
 23    that the General Fund reappropriation for the Department  of  Water  Resources
 24    bears to the total General Fund reappropriation authority granted to all state
