Whenever the chairman of a legislative agency, or his designee, shall determine that appropriations made to his account are insufficient, due to emergency conditions or unforeseen circumstances, he/she may request a transfer of funds from any other appropriation item made within the Legislative Department.
Requests will be made in letter form from the initiating agency to the Joint Committee of Legislative Services, and the chairman of said committee will immediately forward notice of the appropriation transfer to the state controller who shall cause the transfer of funds to be entered upon the financial records of the state and thereupon notify all interested agencies of the action.
