1. The Director, Department of Planning and Budget, is hereby authorized to increase the appropriations to any of the agencies named in § 4-2.02 a 1 d), e), f), j), k), l), and m) of this act, to an amount not to exceed the revenues collected and paid into the general fund of the state treasury by such agency during the current biennium.


2. The Director, Department of Planning and Budget, is hereby authorized to increase the appropriations to any of the agencies named in § 4-2.02 a 1 g). The increase shall not exceed the otherwise unappropriated revenues collected and paid into the state treasury during the biennium by the agency. The increase for the Department of Corrections may be expended for a material expansion of the activities of the agency only if, in the judgment of the Director, such expenditure will result, within a period of twelve months, in the repayment to the state treasury by the agency of an equal or larger amount than that so expended. In addition, the Director may increase the Department of Corrections appropriation for the purchase of agribusiness equipment or the repair or construction of agribusiness facilities by an amount equal to fifty percent of any annual amounts in excess of FY 1992 deposits to the general fund from agribusiness operations. It is the intent of the General Assembly that appropriation increases for the purposes specified in this subdivision shall not be used to offset or reduce the general fund appropriations for these agencies.


3. The Director, Department of Planning and Budget, is hereby authorized to increase the appropriations to the Department of Taxation for the purpose of paying out-of-state collection agencies. No appropriation increase may be made unless the Department of Taxation has proven that no other funds are available for these payments and that revenues collected by such out-of-state collection agencies and deposited to the general fund exceed the appropriation increase.


4.a) The Director, Department of Planning and Budget, with the prior written approval of the Governor, is authorized to increase the appropriation to any state agency in an amount not to exceed the revenues received from leases by such agency for communications towers pursuant to § 4-2.02 c of this act.

d) No obligation or expenditure shall be made from such funds until a revised operating budget request is approved by the Director. Expenditures from any gift, grant or donation shall be in accordance with the purpose for which it was made; however, expenditures for property, plant or equipment, irrespective of fund source, are subject to the provisions of §§ 4-2.03, 4-4.01 and 4-5.05 b of this act.


e) Nothing in this section shall exempt agencies from complying with § 4-2.01 a of this act.
