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. The amounts of any unexpended balances of federal grant funds received prior to June 30, 1998, and not included as part of an appropriation item in section 2, are hereby made available for expenditure during fiscal year 1999, 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 established pursuant to section two Q of chapter 29 of the General Laws 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 expenditures shall be made from said Intragovernmental Service Fund which would cause said fund to be in deficit at the close of fiscal year 1999; and provided further, that any balance remaining in said Intragovernmental Service Fund at the close of fiscal year 1999 shall be transferred to the General Fund.
