§ 12-331a — Expenditures by consolidated city during year consolidation effected

Whenever two (2) or more cities are consolidated in accordance with the provisions of this act, the governing body of the consolidated city may make expenditures for purposes authorized by law for such city during the budget year when such consolidation was effected, and if the budget for the next ensuing budget year was adopted by the governing body of the city prior to the time the consolidation is effected, then said governing body may also make such expenditures in the next ensuing budget year, even though such expenditures were not included in the budget for the period in which the expenditures are made. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as authorizing a consolidated city to incur indebtedness or to make expenditures in violation of the cash basis law.
