Federal and other funds must be expended before funds appropriated from the general fund of the State, to the extent possible, and any excess balances in accounts resulting from matching fund programs must be remitted to the general fund of the State. Federal or other funds generated by the expenditure of state funds, including refunds from prior year general fund expenditures, must be remitted to the general fund of the State if there is no federal or state requirement governing the specific use of the funds. In order to permit identification of these funds, state agencies shall: (1) draw down and expend federal and other funds before spending state general fund appropriations whenever possible; (2) maintain separate accounting records for each grant for cash, revenues, and expenditures to insure a proper audit trail; (3) reconcile federal and other fund accounts at the end of each state fiscal year and maintain those records for audit purposes; (4) submit federal financial reports to the grantor agency as required. State agencies shall remit to the general fund of the State any funds found to exist in agency accounts. If an agency believes funds have been inappropriately identified as the funds defined in this section, the agency may appeal through the process provided in Sections 2-65-30 and 2-65-40. A report of the amount of funds credited to the general fund of the State pursuant to this section must be made by the Comptroller General at the time of each official state revenue forecast. This report must be provided to the Executive Budget Office and the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, the Senate Finance Committee, and the House Ways and Means Committee. Research and student aid grants, including indirect cost recoveries, are exempt from this provision.
