1 1 Section 1. Section 8.62, Code 2001, is amended by adding
1 2 the following new subsection:
1 3 NEW SUBSECTION. 4. a. For purposes of this subsection,
1 4 unless the context otherwise requires, "state institution"
1 5 means the Iowa veterans home or a state institution under the
1 6 control of the director of human services listed in section
1 7 218.1, governed by the state board of regents listed in
1 8 section 262.7, or administered by the Iowa department of
1 9 corrections listed in section 904.102.
1 10 b. For an operational appropriation made to an agency for
1 11 purposes of a state institution or for the portion of an
1 12 operational appropriation allocated for a state institution,
1 13 the state institution shall exercise the encumbrance authority
1 14 under subsection 2 in lieu of its exercise by the agency.
1 15 c. If a state institution is authorized by law to operate
1 16 under net state budgeting procedures and to retain an amount
1 17 of revenues that remains unobligated or unexpended at the
1 18 close of the fiscal year, the state institution's encumbrance
1 19 authority under this subsection is in addition to the state
1 20 institution's authority to retain such revenue.
1 21 EXPLANATION
1 22 This bill amends Code section 8.62 to authorize certain
1 23 state institutions to act in lieu of the agency in control of
1 24 that institution to encumber a portion of an unused
1 25 operational appropriation and use the encumbered amount in the
1 26 succeeding fiscal year.
1 27 Under Code section 8.62, an operational appropriation is an
1 28 appropriation from the general fund of the state providing for
1 29 salary, support, administrative purposes, or other personnel-
1 30 related costs. If a balance of an operational appropriation
1 31 would remain unexpended or unencumbered at the close of the
1 32 fiscal year, a state agency may encumber up to 50 percent of
1 33 that balance for use in the succeeding fiscal year. The
1 34 remainder is deposited in the cash reserve fund. The
1 35 specially encumbered moneys must be used during the succeeding
2 1 fiscal year for employee training, technology enhancement, or
2 2 purchases of goods and services from Iowa prison industries.
2 3 The bill authorizes certain state institutions to exercise
2 4 that encumbrance authority, independently of its parent
2 5 agency, for funding attributable to the state institution.
2 6 The bill applies to the following state institutions: the
2 7 Iowa veterans home; the state resource centers, mental health
2 8 institutes, and juvenile facilities under the control of the
2 9 director of human services; the universities, university
2 10 hospitals and clinics, braille and sight saving school, state
2 11 school for the deaf, and Oakdale campus under the control of
2 12 the state board of regents; the state penitentiaries,
2 13 correctional facilities, classification center, rehabilitation
2 14 camps, and other related institutions administered by the
2 15 department of corrections.
2 16 If a state institution is authorized by law to operate on a
2 17 net state budgeting basis and to retain a portion of revenue
2 18 at the close of the fiscal year for use in the succeeding
2 19 fiscal year, the moneys encumbered under the bill are in
2 20 addition to that retained revenue.
