Title 5 - §1582. Handling appropriations
Title 5: ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND SERVICES Part 4: FINANCE Chapter 145: APPROPRIATIONS §1582. Handling appropriations
Appropriations to any state department or agency do not become available for expenditure until allotted upon the basis of
the work program duly approved by the Governor as provided.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §1 (amd).]
1. New or expanded programs. A state department may not establish a new program or expand an existing program beyond the scope of the program already
established, recognized and approved by the Legislature until the program and the method of financing are submitted to the
Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of the Budget for evaluation and recommendation to the Legislature
and until the funds are made available for the program by the Legislature.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §1 (new).]
2. Significant action recommended by State Budget Officer. The Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of the Budget shall inform the joint standing committee
of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs, through the Office of Fiscal and Program
Review, of significant action recommended by the bureau in the performance of assigned budget responsibilities.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §1 (new).]
3. Personal Services funding. The total number of positions and the costs appropriated or allocated in any program may not, during any fiscal year, vary
either from the positions included in computing the total dollars appropriated or allocated for Personal Services or in the
specific cost of each position upon which the appropriations and allocations are based. This subsection does not apply to
positions funded by the Maine Military Authority Enterprise Fund. The State Budget Officer shall take the action necessary
to ensure compliance with this section except as provided for in this section and section 1583-B.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §1 (new).]
4. Use of savings; personal services funds. Savings accrued from unused funding of employee benefits may not be used to increase services provided by employees. Accrued
salary savings generated from vacant positions within an appropriation or allocation for Personal Services may be used for
the payment of nonrecurring Personal Services costs only within the account where the savings exist. Accrued savings generated
from vacant positions within a General Fund account's appropriation for Personal Services may be used to offset Personal Services
shortfalls in other General Fund accounts that occur as a direct result of Personal Services appropriation reductions for
projected vacancies; except that the transfer of such accrued savings is subject to review by the joint standing committee
of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs. Costs related to acting capacity appointments
and emergency, unbudgeted overtime for which it is impractical to budget in advance may be used with the approval of the appointing
authority. Other actions such as retroactive compensation for reclassifications or reallocations and retroactive or one-time
settlements related to arbitrator or court decisions must be recommended by the department or agency head and approved by
the State Budget Officer. Salary and employee benefits savings may not be used to fund recurring Personal Services actions
either in the account where the savings exist or in another account.

1. Prohibition.
[1993, c. 70, §1 (rp).]
div> Notwithstanding any other provision of law, limited period, project or other temporary positions may be established by financial
order so long as the end date for those positions does not exceed the statutory adjournment date for the next regular session
of the Legislature. Temporary positions established by financial order may not be continued past the statutory adjournment
date unless the Legislature specifically appropriates or allocates funds to continue those positions.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §2 (amd).]
2. Workers' compensation positions. Limited-period positions may be established for former regular employees of the State who are presently receiving workers'
compensation payments from the State when that action enables those employees to return to productive employment with the
State. These positions may be established, if funds are available, only until those employees can be returned to regular
positions. Notwithstanding any other restrictions on funds appropriated or allocated, the State Budget Officer may, after
determining that funds are available, either approve the use of these funds or recommend appropriate action to the Governor
when the Governor's approval is required. Available funds may include amounts appropriated or allocated for Personal Services,
including funds in any salary account or special account for state employee salary increases, All Other, Capital Expenditures
and unallocated.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §2 (new).]
3. Number of necessary employees. The Governor and the State Budget Officer when preparing the budget proposals for the Legislature may at their discretion
make the necessary adjustments to reflect the number of limited-period positions that, in their opinion, are necessary to
the proper operation of each department, institution or agency.
[2005, c. 12, Pt. T, §2 (new).]
4. Federally funded programs. If federal funds are not available as anticipated for programs, there is no obligation to provide state funds in excess
of those appropriated or allocated by the Legislature. Positions entirely or partially funded by federal or nonstate sources
of funds are considered limited-period positions.
