| Sec. 2. Transfer of allocations. Any balance of the allocation for |
"General Contingency" made by the Legislature for the Maine |
Turnpike Authority may be transferred at any time prior to the |
closing of the books to any other allocation or subdivision of |
any other allocation made by the Legislature for the use of the |
Maine Turnpike Authority for the same calendar year. Any balance |
of any other allocation or subdivision of any other allocation |
made by the Legislature for the Maine Turnpike Authority that at |
any time is not required for the purpose named in the allocation |
or subdivision may be transferred at any time prior to the |
closing of the books to any other allocation or subdivision of |
any other allocation made by the Legislature for the use of the |
Maine Turnpike Authority for the same calendar year subject to |
review by the joint standing committee of the Legislature having |
jurisdiction over transportation matters. Financial statements |
describing the transfer, other than a transfer from "General |
Contingency," must be submitted by the Maine Turnpike Authority |
to the Office of Fiscal and Program Review 30 days before the |
transfer is to be implemented. In case of extraordinary |
emergency transfers, the 30-day prior submission requirement may |
be waived by vote of the committee. These financial statements |
must include information specifying the accounts that are |
affected, amounts to be transferred, a description of the |
transfer and a detailed explanation as to why the transfer is |
needed. |
