ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 1147

this Act shall operate as an amendment to such Act to the
extent of such increase. Any item of an appropriation
hereinafter made providing for any salary not fixed by the
Constitution of the State may be altered or changed with
the consent of the Governor by the filing of an amended
schedule as hereinafter set out.

SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That no State de-
partment, board, commission, officer, institution, or other
agency, shall exceed the amount of its appropriation made
herein, except in the manner and to the extent for which
provision is made in Section Three and Sections 11, 11a
and 11b hereof. If any such State department, board,
commission, officer, institution or other agency shall other-
wise exceed the amount of its appropriation there shall
be no reimbursement of such excess nor shall there be
any liability or obligation upon the State to make any ap-
propriation hereafter to meet such deficit, and the officer
or members of such board, commission, department or
agency, or of the governing body of such State institution
who have made any such excessive expenditures, shall, in
the discretion of the Governor, be deemed guilty of neglect
of official duty and shall be subject to removal therefor.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That the items and
amounts which are hereafter set out to show the methods
of making up any appropriation do not constitute appro-
priations, but represent the initial plan of disbursement
and apportionment of the appropriations of which they
are part. All departments, boards, commissions, institu-
tions, or officers shall submit in writing to the Governor
an amended itemized schedule for the disbursement to be
made by it or him, prior to the beginning of each fiscal
year for which the apportionment is made. If the Gov-
ernor shall approve such amended itemized schedule he
shall transmit the same, with his certificate of approval, to
the Comptroller, and thereafter such appropriation shall
be paid out in accordance with said amended itemized
schedule. Each appropriation shall be paid out only in
accordance with the schedule therefor, if any, unless such
schedule be amended within the limits of such appropria-
tion in the following manner.

The Senate of Maryland of the General Assembly of
1935 may by resolution provide for or authorize the amend-
ment of its schedule.
