Official statutory text

A. The administrative head of any agency or the request officer

may request that any current item of appropriation, allotment, or

budget category be transferred to any other budget category within

the same agency.

B. The administrative head shall make a request for budget

transfer to the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

agency budget revisions shall also be filed with the Joint

Legislative Committee on Budget and Program Oversight as created by

Section 34.96 of this title.

D. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services shall approve the request for transfer unless both the

Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Budget

and Program Oversight provide written notification to the Director

of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services within twelve

(12) calendar days of receipt of transfer request that the transfer

subverts the intention and objectives of the Legislature in

establishing the original appropriation, or unless the transfer does

title. Notification of noncompliance with legislative intent shall

be transmitted to the Director of the Office of Management and

1. The amount to be transferred, together with all previous

transfers, shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total

appropriation of the least of the items of appropriation, allotment

or agency budget involved in the transfer; and

2. If the amount to be transferred, and all previous transfers,

is greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the least items of

appropriation, allotment or agency budget involved in the transfer

request, the agency may make an application to the Director of the

Office of Management and Enterprise Services, and the Chair and Vice

Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Budget and Program

Oversight. If the agency obtains written approval from the Director

of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the Chair
