Sec. 4-87. Transfer and revision of appropriations. Relocation expenses. (a)
Whenever any specific appropriation of a budgeted agency proves insufficient to pay
the expenditures required for the statutory purposes for which such appropriation was
made, the Governor may, at the request of the budgeted agency, transfer from any other
specific appropriation of such budgeted agency such amount as the Governor deems
necessary to meet such expenditures, except that transfers made from appropriations
for fringe benefits to the operating funds of any constituent unit of the state system of
higher education may be made only at the close of the fiscal year. No transfer to or from
any specific appropriation of a sum or sums of over fifty thousand dollars or ten per
cent of any such specific appropriation, whichever is less, shall be made under this
section in any one fiscal year without the consent of the Finance Advisory Committee
except for transfer made from appropriations for fringe benefits to the operating funds
of any constituent unit of the state system of higher education. Notification of all transfers
made shall be sent to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having
cognizance of matters relating to appropriations and the budgets of state agencies,
through the Office of Fiscal Analysis.
(b) When the work, procedures or organization of any budgeted agency is modified
in any respect by reason of statutory changes or management studies, the Secretary of
the Office of Policy and Management, may prepare and submit to the Governor his
recommendations to increase or decrease the number of appropriation functions of such
budgeted agency and the amounts therefor. The Governor shall have full authority, with
the approval of the Finance Advisory Committee, to make such revision and to certify
the same to the Secretary of the State and the Comptroller. Appropriation revisions
approved by the Governor for any specific agency shall not exceed in total the amount
originally appropriated for that agency.
(c) Whenever any appropriation of a budgeted agency located within the city of
Hartford proves insufficient to pay the expenditures required for such agency to relocate
outside the city of Hartford, the Governor, at the request of such agency, and with
the consent of the Finance Advisory Committee, may transfer to such agency, from
appropriations made to the Department of Public Works for rents and moving, such
amount as the Governor deems necessary to meet such expenditures. Whenever the
appropriations made to the Department of Public Works prove insufficient to pay the
expenditures necessary to relocate a budgeted agency within the city of Hartford, the
Governor, at the request of the department and the agency, and with the consent of the
Finance Advisory Committee, may transfer to the department from appropriations made
to the agency for relocation expenditures, such amount as the Governor deems necessary
to meet such expenditures.
