MISCELLANEOUS
NEW SECTION. Sec. 801. (1) Agencies shall expedite the expenditure of appropriations in order to: (a) Make transportation improvements and rehabilitate transportation infrastructure resources; (b) accelerate transportation related environmental rehabilitation and restoration projects for the improvement of the state's natural environment; (c) reduce additional costs associated with acquisition and construction inflationary pressures; and (d) provide additional employment opportunities associated with transportation capital expenditures.
(2) In order to meet the goals of this section, to the extent feasible, agencies are directed to accelerate expenditures and may use contracted design and construction services wherever necessary to meet the goals of this section.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 802. To the extent practicable, all state, county, city, local, or municipal projects paid for in whole or in part with funds appropriated in this act shall consider pavement life-cycle costs in determining pavement types.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 803. The amounts shown under the headings "Prior Biennia," "Future Biennia," and "Total" in this act are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legislative approval of these amounts. The amounts shown under the heading "Future Biennia" are advisory only and reflect the current best available estimates of project costs and may include but are not limited to the following funding sources: State, local, regional, federal, or private funds.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 804. The governor, through the office of financial management, may authorize a transfer of appropriation authority provided for a capital project that is in excess of the amount required for the completion of such project to another capital project for which the appropriation is insufficient. No such transfer may be used to expand or limit the scope of the project beyond that intended by the legislature in making the appropriation. Such transfers may be effected only between capital appropriations to a specific department or agency and only between capital projects that are funded from the same fund or account. No transfers may occur between projects to local government agencies except where the grants are provided within a single omnibus appropriation and where such transfers are specifically authorized by the implementing statutes which govern the grants.
For purposes of this section, the governor may find that an amount is in excess of the amount required for the completion of a project only if: (1) The project defined in the notes to the budget document is substantially complete and there are funds remaining; (2) bids have been let on a project and it appears to a substantial certainty that the project as defined in the notes to the budget document can be completed within the biennium for less than the amount appropriated in this act; or (3) the secretary of transportation determines that the allocation for the preconstruction phase of the project is in excess of the amount necessary to reach the construction or request for proposal phase.
For the purposes of this section, the legislature intends that each project be defined as proposed to the legislature in the governor's budget document, unless it clearly appears from the legislative history that the legislature intended to define the scope of a project in a different way.
A report of any transfer effected under this section, except emergency projects or any transfer under $250,000, shall be filed with the legislative transportation committees of the senate and the house of representatives by the office of financial management at least thirty days before the date the transfer is effected. The office of financial management shall report all emergency or smaller transfers within thirty days from the date of transfer.
