The sums set forth as federal appropriations in section 2D for the several purposes and subject to the conditions specified in said section 2D 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. Federal funds received in excess of the amount appropriated in this se ction 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 the federal grant funds received prior to June 30, 1999, and not included as part of an appropriation item in section 2D, are hereby made available for expenditure during fiscal year 2000, in addition to any amount appropriated in section 2D.
