1 7 to the services fund made pursuant to section 331.432,
1 8 subsection 3, shall not be considered to be an appropriation.
1 9 Any moneys transferred are available for expenditure in

1 11 shall be expended in accordance with this section.
1 12 Sec. 2. Section 331.432, Code 1997, is amended to read as
1 13 follows:
1 14 331.432 INTERFUND TRANSFERS.

1 20 3. If the revenues available for expenditure from the
1 21 county's mental health, mental retardation, and developmental
1 22 disabilities services fund for a fiscal year are determined to
1 23 be insufficient to pay for the services payable from the fund
1 24 for the fiscal year, the board of supervisors may authorize
1 25 the permanent transfer from the county general fund to the
1 26 services fund of not more than one percent of the amount of
1 27 revenue to be credited to the general fund for that fiscal
1 28 year. Prior to the transfer, the board of supervisors must

1 30 transfer, the transfer date, and the amount to be transferred.
1 31 If the need for the transfer occurred after certification of
1 32 the county's budget and expenditure of the moneys would
1 33 require an increased appropriation from the services fund, the
1 34 appropriation is subject to the provisions of section 331.434,
1 35 subsection 6. If expenditure of the transferred moneys would
2 1 require amendment of the county's approved county management

2 4 section 331.439.

2 10 authorized by resolution of the board. The transfer of
2 11 inactive funds is subject to section 24.21.
2 12 Sec. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of
2 13 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
2 14 EXPLANATION
2 15 This bill authorizes a county to make an interfund transfer
2 16 of county general fund revenues to the county's mental health,
2 17 mental retardation, and developmental disabilities services
2 18 fund under certain circumstances.
2 19 The bill amends Code section 331.424A, relating to the
2 20 services fund, to provide that moneys transferred as provided
2 21 in the bill are not to be considered to be an appropriation
2 22 from another county fund. Transferred moneys are to be used
2 23 as additional services fund moneys.
2 24 The bill amends Code section 331.432, relating to county
2 25 interfund transfers. The transfer is authorized in the event
2 26 the revenues available for expenditure from the county's
2 27 services fund for a fiscal year will be insufficient to pay
2 28 for the services payable from the fund. The transfer amount
2 29 is limited to 1 percent of general fund revenues. The county
2 30 board of supervisors must authorize the transfer in a
2 31 resolution stating the need for the transfer, transfer date,
2 32 and transfer amount.
2 33 In the event the need for the moneys to be transferred
2 34 arises after certification of the county's budget, the county
2 35 board of supervisors must appropriate the moneys in accordance
3 1 with requirements for passage of resolutions and holding a
3 2 public hearing. If expenditure of the moneys requires a
3 3 change in the county's management plan, the amendment is
3 4 subject to the requirements of Code section 331.439 which
3 5 includes submission to the director of human services 60 days
3 6 prior to making the changes.
3 7 The bill takes effect upon enactment.
