one-half of the required amount during the first fiscal year of the 
succeeding biennium and one-half of the required amount during the 
second fiscal year of the succeeding biennium, except that the 
amount transferred during the first fiscal year may be unequal to 
the amount transferred during the second fiscal year if the

the amount in the economic stabilization fund does not exceed the 
limit prescribed by Subsection (g), Section 49-g, Article III,
