      3.  On page 26, line 20, after "funds" strike the remainder of
  the line and all of lines 21 and 22 and line 23 through "emergencies".
  
      4.  On page 29, line 9, after "request" insert "budget increases

      5.  On page 29, lines 15 through 23, strike Subsection C in its
  entirety and insert in lieu thereof:
  
          "C.  The state budget division of the department of finance
  and administration shall not approve a request for a budget increase
  authorized in Subsection B of this section for an amount greater than
  one million dollars ($1,000,000) without the prior approval of the
  legislative finance committee.  This requirement is a limitation on
  the grant of power to agencies to exceed specific appropriations and,
  as adjudicated in the cases of <u>Coll v. Carruthers</u> and <u>Sego v.
  Kirkpatrick</u>, cannot be broadened by the use of the veto power.
  
          D.  Except as allowed in Subsection B of this section or
  otherwise provided by law, without the approval of the legislative
  finance committee, the state budget division of the department of
  finance and administration shall not approve additional budget
  increases from nongeneral fund revenues.  Such budget increases shall
  be approved by the legislative finance committee only for emergencies
  and shall not exceed a total of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in
  fiscal year 1999.".
