ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor Ch. 443
through the last day of the second month preceding the date on which the report is to
be submitted and a comparison to data applicable to those periods in the preceding
fiscal year.
(5) Reports shall be submitted to the budget committees, the Department of
Legislative Services, the Department of Budget and Management, and the
Comptroller on November 1, 2005, March 1, 2006, and June 1, 2006.
(6) It is the intent of the General Assembly that general funds appropriated
for fiscal 2005 to the programs specified which have not been disbursed within a
reasonable period, not to exceed 12 months from the end of the fiscal year, shall
revert.
SECTION 35. 34. 35. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Board of
Public Works, in exercising its authority to create additional positions pursuant to
Section 7-236 of the State Finance and Procurement Article, may authorize during
the fiscal year no more than 50 positions in excess of the total number of authorized
State positions on July 1, 2005, as determined by the Secretary of Budget and
Management. Provided, however, that if the imposition of this ceiling causes undue
hardship in any department, agency, board, or commission, additional positions may
be created for that affected unit to the extent that positions authorized by the General
Assembly for the fiscal year are abolished in that unit or in other units of State
government. It is further provided that the limit of 50 does not apply to any position
that may be created in conformance with specific manpower statutes that may be
enacted by the State or federal government nor to any positions created to implement
block grant actions or to implement a program reflecting fundamental changes in
federal/State relationships. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, the
Board of Public Works may authorize additional positions to meet public emergencies
resulting from an act of God and violent acts of men, which are necessary to protect
the health and safety of the people of Maryland.
The Board of Public Works may authorize the creation of additional positions
within the Executive Branch provided that 1.25 full-time equivalent contractual
positions are abolished for each regular position authorized and that there be no
increase in agency funds in the current budget and the next two subsequent budgets
as the result of this action. It is the intent of the General Assembly that priority is
given to converting individuals that have been in a contractual position for at least
two years. Any position created by this method shall not be counted within the
limitation of 50 under this section.
In addition to any positions created within the limitation of 50 under this
section, the Board of Public Works may authorize the creation of no more than 150
positions within the Department of Human Resources to provide services purchased
by Local Management Boards through contracts with local departments of social
services. If a Local Management Board terminates a contract with a local department
of social services during the fiscal year, all the positions created by the Board of Public
Works to provide services under the terms of that contract shall be abolished.
In addition to any positions created within the limitation of 50 under this
section, the Board of Public Works may authorize the creation of positions within the
