Ch. 443 2005 LAWS OF MARYLAND
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Budget and
Management may transfer amounts appropriated in Comptroller objects 0152, 0154,
0305, and 0322 between State departments and agencies by approved budget
amendment in fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2006.
Further provided that funds may be transferred between State agency programs
and subprograms within Comptroller Objects 0152 and 0154. Funds may be
transferred from any Comptroller Object into Comptroller Objects 0152 and 0154 for
the purpose of increasing funds for health insurance. All funds budgeted in or
transferred to Comptroller Objects 0152 and 0154, and any funds restricted in this
budget for use in the employee and retiree health insurance program shall be credited
to the fund or account from which such benefits are paid.
Further provided that funds may be transferred between State agency programs
and subprograms within Comptroller Objects 0305 and 0322.
Further provided that each agency that receives funding in this budget in any of
the restricted Comptroller Objects herein listed within this section shall establish
within the State's accounting system a structure of accounts to separately identify for
each restricted Comptroller Object by fund source, the legislative appropriation,
monthly transactions, and final expenditures. It is the intent of the General Assembly
that accounting detail be established so that the Office of Legislative Audits may
review the disposition of funds appropriated for each restricted Comptroller Object as
part of each closeout audit to ensure that funds are used only for the purposes for
which they are restricted and that unspent funds are reverted or cancelled.
SECTION 18. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That contingent upon the
enactment of legislation to eliminate the payment of employer contributions for State
supplemental plans in the Optional Defined Contribution System in fiscal year 2006,
the funding for these payments (Comptroller Object 0172) for Executive Branch
employees shall be reduced by $7,601,505 in general funds, $3,713,898 in special
funds, and $3,020,667 in federal funds in accordance with a schedule determined by
the Governor. notwithstanding the provisions of § 32-205 of the State Personnel and
Pensions Article, in fiscal 2006 the State shall only be required to make the employer
contributions to the applicable State supplemental plan for participating employees
in the Optional Defined Contribution System up to and including $400 per
participating employee. Funding for this purpose (subobject 0172) shall be reduced in
fiscal 2006 by the following amounts:
Department Fund Amount
Executive General $2,606,524
Executive Special 1,262,196
Executive Federal 1,034,119
Judiciary General 358,669
Judiciary Federal 5,596
Authorization for executive agencies to expend $121,148 in reimbursable funds
for subobject 0172 is hereby withdrawn. Allocation of the reduction to reimbursable
funds shall be made by the Governor prior to July 1, 2005.
