Expenditures from the fund are not subject to allotment or other budgetary procedures.
(4) None of the expenditures in a biennium by the agency or unit under this section shall be considered to be within any appropriation or expenditure limitation in the agency’s base budget for the biennium.

(6) The department may require a different repayment schedule for training and employee development than for other productivity improvement projects.
(7) Agencies and units shall report to the department quarterly on project implementation, savings realized to date, or projected, and repayment of moneys to the fund.
