§ 5i — Transfers

Each year, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall, at the time set forth for the submission of the State budget under Section 50-5 of the State Budget Law, provide to the Chairperson and the Minority Spokesperson of each of the appropriations committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate a report of (i) all full fiscal year transfers from State general funds to any other special fund of the State in the previous fiscal year and during the current fiscal year to date, and (ii) all projected full fiscal year transfers from State general funds to those funds for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year, based on estimates prepared by the Governor's Office of Management and Budget. The report shall include a detailed summary of the estimates upon which the projected transfers are based. The report shall also indicate, for each transfer: (1) whether or not there is statutory authority for the transfer; (2) if there is statutory authority for the transfer, whether that statutory authority exists for the next fiscal year; and (3) whether there is debt service associated with the transfer. The General Assembly shall consider the report in the appropriations process.
