NEW SECTION. Sec. 28. A new section is added to 1997 c 235 to read as follows:

The governor, through the office of financial management, may authorize a transfer of appropriation authority provided for capital projects in this act to section 1 of this act for the office of financial management, Year 2000 building, facility, and equipment date conversion: Contingency pool. These funds may then be allocated by the office of financial management to agencies and institutions to address Year 2000 date conversion maintenance on buildings, facilities, and equipment.

For the purposes of this section, it is the intent of the legislature that such transfers and allocations are authorized to deal with the unique challenges posed by the Year 2000 date conversion and the requirement that state buildings, facilities, and equipment continue to function with a minimum of disruption. Flexibility in the use of appropriation authority allocated prior to the year 2000 is essential as agencies and institutions assess the potential and seek to remedy potential failures.

A report of all appropriation transfers and allocations effected under this section shall be filed with the legislative fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives by the office of financial management as they occur.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 29. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately.
