This fiscal year shall be used for purposes of making appropriations and of financial reporting and shall be uniformly adopted by all departments and establishments of the government. However, the department of workforce development may use the federal fiscal year instead of the fiscal year commencing on July 1.[C35, §84-e28; C39, §84.29; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §8.36; 1981 Acts, ch 19, §1]96 Acts, ch 1186, §23, 2017 Acts, ch 54, §6Referred to in 455A.19, 904.7068.36AFull-time equivalent positions.1.  For purposes of making appropriations and financial reports and as used in appropriations statutes, “full-time equivalent position” means a budgeting and monitoring unit that equates the aggregate of full-time positions, part-time positions, a vacancy and turnover factor, and other adjustments. One full-time equivalent position represents two thousand eighty working hours, which is the regular number of hours one full-time person works in one fiscal year. The number of full-time equivalent positions shall be calculated by totaling the regular number of hours that could be annually worked by persons in all authorized positions, reducing those hours by a vacancy and turnover factor and dividing that amount by two thousand eighty hours. In order to achieve the full-time equivalent position level, the number of filled positions may exceed the number of full-time equivalent positions during parts of the fiscal year to compensate for time periods when the number of filled positions is below the authorized number of full-time equivalent positions.2.a.  If a department or establishment has reached or anticipates reaching the full-time equivalent position level authorized for the department but determines that conversion of a contract position to a full-time equivalent position would result in cost savings while providing comparable or better services, the department or establishment may request the director of the department of management to approve the conversion and addition of the full-time equivalent position. The request shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating how the cost savings and service quality will be achieved through the conversion. If approved by the director of the department of management, the department’s or establishment’s authorized full-time equivalent position level shall be increased accordingly and the revised level shall be reported to the fiscal committee of the legislative council and the legislative services agency.b.  A department or establishment shall not convert a full-time equivalent position authorized for the department or establishment to a contract position and shall not use appropriated moneys for such a contract position unless the department or establishment receives approval from the director of the department of management to convert the full-time equivalent position to a contract position. The director of the department of management shall not approve the conversion unless the department or establishment submits sufficient evidence that the conversion would result in cost savings while providing comparable or better services.90 Acts, ch 1247, §1, 2003 Acts, ch 35, §46, 49, 2003 Acts, ch 145, §122, 2010 Acts, ch 1031, §59Referred to in 455B.183C8.37Fiscal term.Repealed by 2001 Acts, 2nd Ex, ch 2, §12, 13. 8.38Misuse of appropriations.A state department, institution, or agency, or any board member, commissioner, director, manager, or other person connected with any such department, institution, or agency, shall not expend funds or approve claims in excess of the appropriations made thereto, nor expend funds for any purpose other than that for which the money was appropriated, except as otherwise provided by law. A violation of this section shall make any person committing or consenting to the violation liable to the state for the sum expended together with interest and costs, which shall be recoverable in an action to be instituted by the attorney general for the use of the state. The action may be brought in any county of the state.[C35, §84-e29; C39, §84.31; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §8.38]2019 Acts, ch 59, §48.39Use of appropriations — transfer.1.  Except as otherwise provided by law, an appropriation or any part of it shall not be used for any other purpose than that for which it was made.

Such transfer shall be to an appropriation made from the same funding source and within the same fiscal year. The amount of a transfer made from an appropriation under this subsection shall be limited to not more than one-tenth of one percent of the total of all appropriations made from the funding source of the transferred appropriation for the fiscal year in which the transfer is made.2.  If the appropriation of a department, institution, or agency is insufficient to properly meet the legitimate expenses of the department, institution, or agency, the director, with the approval of the governor, may make an interdepartmental transfer from any other department, institution, or agency of the state having an appropriation in excess of its needs, of sufficient funds to meet that deficiency. Such transfer shall be to an appropriation made from the same funding source and within the same fiscal year. The amount of a transfer made from an appropriation under this subsection shall be limited to not more than one-tenth of one percent of the total of all appropriations made from the funding source of the transferred appropriation for the fiscal year in which the transfer is made. An interdepartmental transfer to an appropriation which is not an entitlement appropriation is not authorized when the general assembly is in regular session and, in addition, the sum of interdepartmental transfers in a fiscal year to an appropriation which is not an entitlement appropriation shall not exceed fifty percent of the amount of the appropriation as enacted by the general assembly.

The aggregate amount of the intradepartmental and interdepartmental transfers made from an appropriation for a fiscal year is limited to fifty percent of the appropriation.4.  Prior to any transfer of funds pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 of this section or a transfer of an allocation from a subunit of a department which statutorily has independent budgeting authority, the director shall notify the chairpersons of the standing committees on appropriations of the senate and the house of representatives and the chairpersons of subcommittees of such committees of the proposed transfer. The notice from the director shall include information concerning the amount of the proposed transfer, the departments, institutions, or agencies affected by the proposed transfer and the reasons for the proposed transfer.
