This amendment provides $2.4 million from nongeneral funds the first year to restore the base budget of the Department of State Police. The nongeneral funds in the first year include uncommitted FY 2013 balances in the Insurance Fraud Fund ($1.3m) and the Help Eliminate Auto Theft Fund ($1.1m). DPB comment: The General Assembly put the appropriation of $2.4 million ($1.3m from Fraud Fund (fund 0916) and $1.1m from the HEAT Fund(fund 0914) in the wrong fund detail group - the Special fund group (2) instead of the Dedicated Special Revenue (9). The PB entry reflects the items as entered in the enrolled budget Act, even if it is technically incorrect. Once the Budget Act is signed by the Governor, the agency will submit a base budget adjustment to transfer appropriation to correct fund details. |
