d) After initial review by the Comptroller, the application shall be forwarded to the Governor. The Comptroller shall include a recommendation for approval or disapproval based upon the Comptroller's assessment of the impact of the establishment of the Accounts Receivable Fund on the relevant fund balances, the ability of the State to meet future obligations on a timely basis, and such related fiscal information that the Comptroller or the Governor may request. Upon the concurrence of the Comptroller and the Governor, the Accounts Receivable Fund shall be established for the receipt types designated in the application. Once established, all collections on accounts receivable which are more than 120 days past due for the receipt types designated in the approved application shall be deposited into the Accounts Receivable Fund. Seventy-five percent of receipts deposited into the Accounts Receivable Fund shall be transferred by the State agency within 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The remaining twenty-five percent of receipts into the Accounts Receivable Fund may be used by the State agency for collecting overdue accounts pursuant to appropriation by the General Assembly (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1986 Supp., ch. 15, par. 156).
