All other unexpended balances lapse into the Highway Fund at the end of each fiscal year, but may not lapse or be transferred to the General Fund in the State Treasury.
Any balance of any allocation or subdivision of an allocation from the Highway Fund made by the Legislature for any department or agency, which at any time may not be required for the purposes named in that allocation or subdivision, may be transferred at any time prior to the closing of the books, to any other allocation or subdivision of an allocation from the Highway Fund made by the Legislature for the same fiscal year subject to review by the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over transportation matters. In addition to transfers of Highway Fund allocations and subdivisions of allocations from the Highway Fund, the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over transportation matters shall review all other allocations or subdivisions of allocations to the Department of Transportation.
