purpose of transferring funds from the State Reserve Fund - Economic Development
Opportunities Fund for projects approved by the Legislative Policy Committee.
(8) This section shall not apply to budget amendments for the sole
purpose of appropriating funds for Information Technology Investment Fund projects
approved by the budget committees.
SECTION 27. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That in the expenditure of
federal funds appropriated in this budget or subsequent to the enactment of this
budget by the budget amendment process:
(1) State agencies shall administer these federal funds in a manner that
recognizes that federal funds are taxpayer dollars that require prudent fiscal
management, careful application to the purposes for which they are directed, and
strict attention to budgetary and accounting procedures established for the
administration of all public funds,
(2) For fiscal 2003, except with respect to capital appropriations, to the
extent consistent with federal requirements:
(a) when expenditures or encumbrances may be charged to either
State or federal fund sources, federal funds shall be charged before State funds are
charged; this policy does not apply to the Department of Human Resources with
respect to federal funds to be carried forward into future years for child care, child
welfare, or welfare reform activities or to the Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene with respect to funds to be carried forward into future years for the purpose
of reducing the waiting list for community services for individuals with
developmental disabilities, or with respect to funds to be carried forward into future
years for HIV/AIDS-related activities;
(b) when additional federal funds are sought or otherwise become
available in the course of the fiscal year, agencies shall consider, in consultation with
the Department of Budget and Management, whether opportunities exist to use these
federal revenues to support existing operations rather than to expand programs or
establish new ones; and
(c) the Department of Budget and Management shall take
appropriate actions to effectively establish these as policies of the State with respect
to administration of federal funds by executive agencies.
SECTION 28. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That, contingent upon the
enactment of legislation to reduce the amount of the State contribution to the
teachers' and employees' pension and retirement systems in fiscal year 2003, the
appropriations in Section 1 of this Act provided for State employee retirement and
pension system contributions, in the following amounts:
General Funds 16,352,000
Special Funds 4,288,000
Federal Funds 3,136,000
The Governor shall develop a schedule for allocating these reductions among the
agencies and programs of the executive branch.
