Overview
This bill modifies the powers of the State Administrative Board, which oversees state government operations. Specifically, it restricts the board's ability to transfer funds to the general fund or to any department, board, or institution without legislative approval. The bill also limits the board's authority to inter-transfer funds from certain designated reserve funds and programs, requiring prior notification and approval from the appropriations committees. The bill’s effectiveness is contingent on the passage of Senate Bills 486 and 488.
Key provisions
- The State Administrative Board cannot transfer appropriations to the general fund without legislative approval.
- The State Administrative Board cannot use funds from sources other than those appropriated by the legislature.
- The State Administrative Board is restricted from transferring funds from designated reserve funds (strategic outreach, critical industry, and site readiness programs).
- Any inter-transfer of funds requires prior approval from both the Senate and House appropriations committees.
- The State Administrative Board can advise and direct state departments and institutions on how to perform their functions.
- Failure to follow the State Administrative Board's directions can be considered malfeasance and grounds for removal.
- ‘Session day’ is defined as a day both the Senate and House convene.
