      AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2002 FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE DEPARTMENTS, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, INSTITUTIONS, AND CERTAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMONWEALTH, FOR INTEREST, SINKING FUND, AND SERIAL BOND REQUIREMENTS, AND FOR CERTAIN PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.

      Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

      SECTION 1. To provide for the maintenance of the several departments, boards, commissions, institutions, and other services, for certain permanent improvements, and to meet certain requirements of law, the sums set forth as state appropriations in sections 2 and 3 for the several purposes and subject to the conditions specified in sections 2 and 3 are hereby appropriated from the General Fund unless specifically designated otherwise, subject to the provisions of law regulating the disbursement of public funds and the approval thereof, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002. The sums set forth as federal appropriations in section 2 for the several purposes and subject to the conditions specified in section 2 are hereby appropriated from the General Federal Grants Fund, subject to the provisions of law regulating the disbursement of public funds and the approval thereof, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002; provided, that federal funds received in excess of the amount appropriated in section 2 shall be expended only in accordance with the provisions of section 6B of chapter 29 of the General Laws; and provided further, that the amounts of any unexpended balances of federal grant funds received prior to June 30, 2001, and not included as part of an appropriation item in section 2, are hereby made available for expenditure during fiscal year 2002, in addition to any amounts appropriated in section 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, the agencies to which amounts are appropriated in section 2 from the Intragovernmental Service Fund are hereby authorized to expend said amounts for the provision of goods and services to agencies receiving appropriations in section 2; provided, that all such expenditures shall be accompanied by a corresponding transfer of funds from an appropriation in section 2 to the Intragovernmental Service Fund; provided further, that no expenditure shall be made from the Intragovernmental Service Fund which would cause said fund to be in deficit at the close of fiscal year 2002; provided further, that any balance remaining in the Intragovernmental Service Fund at the close of fiscal year 2002 shall be transferred to the General Fund; provided, however, that in each item in section 2 which is charged to the Intragovernmental Service Fund any unspent balance at the close of fiscal year 2002 in an amount not to exceed 5 per cent of the amount appropriated in section 2 in such item shall remain in the Intragovernmental Service Fund and is hereby re-authorized for expenditure from such item in fiscal year 2003.

      SECTION 1A. In accordance with Articles LXIII and CVII of the Articles of Amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth and section 6D of chapter 29 of the General Laws, it is hereby declared that the amounts of revenue set forth in this section by source for the respective funds of the commonwealth for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002, are necessary and sufficient to provide the means to defray the appropriations and expenditures from such funds for said fiscal year as set forth and authorized in section 2. The comptroller shall keep a distinct account of actual receipts from each such source by each such fund, furnish the executive office for administration and finance and the house and senate committees on ways and means with quarterly statements comparing such receipts with the projected receipts set forth herein, and include a full statement comparing such actual and projected receipts in the annual report for said fiscal year pursuant to section 12 of chapter 7A of the General Laws; provided, that such quarterly and annual reports shall also include detailed statements of any other sources of revenue for the budgeted funds in addition to those specified in this section.

      SECTION 1B. The comptroller shall keep a distinct account of actual receipts of non-tax revenues by each department, board, commission, or institution, furnish the executive office for administration and finance and the house and senate committees on ways and means with quarterly statements comparing such receipts with the projected receipts set forth herein, and include a full statement comparing such actual and projected receipts in the annual report for fiscal year 2002 pursuant to section 12 of chapter 7A of the General Laws; provided, that such quarterly and annual reports shall also include detailed statements of any other sources of non-tax revenue for the budgeted funds in addition to those specified in this section.
