| This bill amends current law to allow federal block grant |
| funds to be used in the same manner as the Federal Expenditures |
| Fund for consistency purposes. The bill changes the dollar |
| threshold below which the Governor may delegate to the State |
| Budget Officer authority to adjust allotments by financial order |
| for a department or agency account. The proposed threshold |
| amount recognizes that allotment adjustments of $45,000 or less |
| are typically of a routine nature and do not have significant |
| policy implications. This change does not preclude the State |
| Budget Officer from bringing a financial order to the Governor |
| for the Governor's approval if, in the judgment of the State |
| Budget Officer, the impact of the proposed change is significant |
| enough to require gubernatorial review and approval. |
