    "(2) Expenditures for the state universal communications services program may not exceed $5,000,000 per fiscal year.  However, during the 2015-2017 biennium, if less than $5,000,000 is expended in any fiscal year, the unexpended portion must be carried over to subsequent fiscal years and, unless fully expended, must be available for program expenditures in such subsequent fiscal years in addition to the $5,000,000 allotted for each of those subsequent fiscal years."

If less than $5,000,000 is spent from the State Universal Communications Services Account in any fiscal year, the unspent portion must be carried over to subsequent fiscal years. Any money carried over is in addition to the $5,000,000 allotted for any subsequent year.
