The moneys saved by the department or 26 27 establishment due to the termination would then be used by the 26 28 department or establishment to reduce or end the furlough 26 29 program as it would otherwise apply to the employees of that 26 30 department or establishment, to the extent of the savings. If 26 31 savings in excess of the amounts reduced by the department of 26 32 management for the applicable executive branch department or 26 33 establishment are received, and the furlough program for that 26 34 department or establishment ceases, those moneys shall not 26 35 revert to the general fund but shall be transferred to the 27 1 applicable executive branch department or establishment for 27 2 personnel costs which shall not be expended for personnel 27 3 costs without prior approval of the department of management. 27 4 b. For a judicial or legislative branch position vacated 27 5 by an early termination participant pursuant to an early 27 6 termination program, the savings from that termination, as 27 7 determined by the judicial or legislative branch as 27 8 applicable, shall offset amounts that would otherwise be 27 9 reduced from the appropriation to the legislative or judicial 27 10 branch that employed the participant due to the implementation 27 11 of a furlough program. The moneys saved by the legislative or 27 12 judicial branch due to the termination would then be used by 27 13 the branch to reduce or end the furlough program as it would 27 14 otherwise apply to the employees of that branch, to the extent 27 15 of the savings. 27 16 6.
