§ 24-76-101 — Appropriation of certain federal funds

(1) The general assembly
may appropriate block grant moneys in the state treasury received from any agency
of the federal government, and, if so appropriated, such block grant moneys shall
not be disbursed except in accordance with the appropriation. This section shall be
construed so as to authorize legislative appropriation of block grant moneys,
notwithstanding any other provision of law enacted prior to July 1, 1985, which
authorizes any department, agency, institution, or officer of the state to apply for,
receive, and expend moneys from the federal government without reference to
legislative appropriation.

(2) Repealed.

(3) The following federal moneys shall not be appropriated:

(a) Moneys received from the federal government by the state for the
construction, improvement, or maintenance of highways;

(b) Moneys received from the federal government by the state as grants for
research at institutions of higher education.

(4) Whenever any federal law permits the transfer of block grant moneys
from one block grant to another, such moneys shall not be transferred and
expended unless such transfer is authorized by the general assembly, either by
appropriation or by permanent law.

(5) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the functions of any
advisory committee or advisory council which has been established to make
recommendations with regard to block grant moneys.
