§ 9:16-c — Transfer of Federal Grant Funds

I. In order to maximize the use of federal grant funds and to avoid lapsing such funds where changes in the state or federal accounting systems, changes in federal grant guidelines, or overestimation or underestimation of funds required in various class codes due to program needs or requirements have occurred subsequent to the passage of the budget, every department as defined in RSA 9:1 may, subject to the prior approval of the fiscal committee of the general court and the approval of governor and council, transfer funds in or out of any class code and to create new class codes within federally funded areas of the department's operating budget if such transfers do not result in an over-expenditure of any grant.
II. In order to maximize the use of federal grant funds and not lapse such funds, every department as defined in RSA 9:1 may, subject to the approval of the commissioner of the department of administrative services, carry forward into future state fiscal years any budgeted appropriation balances in class from federal grants for the duration of the federal grant award.
