    |
0014|            A.  Upon a showing by an agency that a critical need
    |
0015|     exists for authorization for additional expenditures during
    |
0016|     fiscal year 1997 and that the critical need cannot be met
    |
0017|     because the agency does not have the authority under Section 1
    |
0018|     of this act to request the necessary budget increase, category
    |
0019|     transfer or division transfer, then the board of finance may
    |
0020|     transfer the amount needed to the agency.  Notwithstanding the
    |
0021|     provisions of Sections 6-3-23 through 6-3-25 NMSA 1978, the
    |
0022|     agency's budget shall be increased by the amount of the
    |
0023|     transfer.
    |
0024|            B.  Before a transfer is made pursuant to Subsection
    |
0025|     A of this section, the board of finance shall notify the
    |
0001|     legislative finance committee of the critical need and the
    |
0002|     reason that the need cannot be met with the agency's existing
    |
0003|     budget adjustment authority.
    |
0004|            C.  One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) is
    |
0005|     appropriated from the general fund to the board of finance
    |
0006|     emergency fund for expenditure during fiscal year 1997 for the
    |
0007|     purpose of making transfers pursuant to Subsection A of this
    |
0008|     section.  Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at
    |
0009|     the end of fiscal year 1997 shall revert to the general fund.
    |
0010|            D.  Any transfer authorized by the provisions of this
    |
0011|     section is additional to any loan or grant of emergency funds by
    |
0012|     the state board of finance pursuant to Section 6-1-2 NMSA 1978.
