THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS




In the Year Two Thousand and Seven


          AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008.

          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 laws regulating the disbursement of public funds and the approval thereof, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
          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 laws regulating the disbursement of public funds and the approval thereof, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Federal funds received in excess of the amount appropriated in section 2 shall be expended only in accordance with section 6B of chapter 29 of the General Laws. The amounts of any unexpended balances of federal grant funds received before June 30, 2007, and not included as part of an appropriation item in section 2, are hereby made available for expenditure during fiscal year 2008, in addition to any amounts appropriated in section 2.
          Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the agencies to which amounts are appropriated in section 2 from the Intragovernmental Service Fund may expend those amounts for the provision of goods and services to agencies receiving appropriations in section 2. All such expenditures shall be accompanied by a corresponding transfer of funds from an appropriation in section 2 to the Intragovernmental Service Fund. No expenditure shall be made from the Intragovernmental Service Fund which would cause the fund to be in deficit at the close of fiscal year 2008. Any balance remaining in the Intragovernmental Service Fund at the close of fiscal year 2008 shall be transferred to the General Fund. Intragovernmental Service Fund appropriations shall be exempt from fringe and indirect cost charges under section 6B of chapter 29 of the General Laws. Agencies with Intragovernmental Service Fund spending authorization may retain and expend an additional 10 per cent of those revenues collected after 10-day notification to the secretary of administration and finance, the comptroller, and the house and senate committees on ways and means.
          All sums appropriated under this act, including supplemental and deficiency budgets, shall be expended in a manner reflecting and encouraging a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for members of minority groups, women and disabled persons. All officials and employees of an agency, board, department, commission or division receiving monies under this act shall take affirmative steps to ensure equality of opportunity in the internal affairs of state government, as well as in their relations with the public, including those persons and organizations doing business with the commonwealth. Each agency, board, department, commission or division, in spending appropriated sums and discharging its statutory responsibilities, shall adopt measures to ensure equal opportunity in the areas of hiring, promotion, demotion or transfer, recruitment, layoff or termination, rates of compensation, in-service or apprenticeship training programs, and all terms and conditions of employment. Any section, item or any portion of this act shall not give rise, nor shall it be construed as giving rise, to any enforceable right or entitlement not otherwise provided by general or special law or regulation.

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, 2008, are necessary and sufficient to provide the means to defray the appropriations and expenditures from such funds for that 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 in this section, and include a full statement comparing such actual and projected receipts in the annual report for that fiscal year pursuant to section 12 of chapter 7A of the General Laws. These 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.
