63J-1-211. Appropriating from restricted accounts.
- (1) As used in this section, “operating deficit” means that estimated General Fund or Uniform School Fund revenues are less than budgeted for the current or next fiscal year.
- (2) Notwithstanding any other statute that limits the Legislature’s power to appropriate from a restricted account, if the Legislature determines that an operating deficit exists, unless prohibited by federal law or court order, the Legislature may, in eliminating the deficit, appropriate money from a restricted account into the General Fund.
