| SECTION 2. Each line appearing in Section 1 of this Article shall constitute an |
| appropriation. |
| SECTION 3. Upon the transfer of any function of a department or agency to another |
| department or agency, the Governor governor is hereby authorized by means of executive order to |
| transfer or reallocate, in whole or in part, the appropriations and the full-time equivalent limits |
| affected thereby; provided, however, in accordance with Rhode Island General Law, Section § 42- |
| 6-5, when the duties or administrative functions of government are designated by law to be |
| performed within a particular department or agency, no transfer of duties or functions and no re- |
| allocation, in whole or part, or appropriations and full-time equivalent positions to any other |
| department or agency shall be authorized. |
| SECTION 4. From the appropriation for contingency shall be paid such sums as may be |
| required at the discretion of the Governor governor to fund expenditures for which appropriations |
| may not exist. Such contingency funds may also be used for expenditures in the several departments |
| and agencies where appropriations are insufficient, or where such requirements are due to |
| unforeseen conditions or are non-recurring items of an unusual nature. Said appropriations may |
| also be used for the payment of bills incurred due to emergencies or to any offense against public |
| peace and property, in accordance with the provisions of Titles 11 and 45 of the General Laws of |
| 1956, as amended. All expenditures and transfers from this account shall be approved by the |
| Governor governor. |
| SECTION 5. The general assembly authorizes the state controller to establish the internal |
| service accounts shown below, and no other, to finance and account for the operations of state |
| agencies that provide services to other agencies, institutions and other governmental units on a cost |
| reimbursed basis. The purpose of these accounts is to ensure that certain activities are managed in |
| a businesslike manner, promote efficient use of services by making agencies pay the full costs |
| associated with providing the services, and allocate the costs of central administrative services |
| across all fund types, so that federal and other non-general fund programs share in the costs of |
| general government support. The controller is authorized to reimburse these accounts for the cost |
| of work or services performed for any other department or agency subject to the following |
| expenditure limitations: |
| Account Expenditure Limit |
| State Assessed Fringe Benefit Internal Service Fund 37,505,032 |

| times and upon such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions and limitations of |
| Section 17 of Article VI of the constitution of Rhode Island R.I. Const., art VI, § 17, as the general |
| treasurer, with the advice of the Governor, shall deem for the best interests of the state, provided |
| that the amounts so borrowed shall not exceed three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000), at any |
| time outstanding. The state is hereby further authorized to give its promissory note or notes or other |
| evidences of indebtedness signed by the general treasurer and counter-signed by the secretary of |
| state for the payment of any sum so borrowed. Any such proceeds shall be invested by the general |
| treasurer until such time as they are needed. The interest income earned from such investments |

| and any expense of issuing the promissory note or notes, or other evidences of indebtedness, with |
| the balance remaining at the end of said fiscal year, if any, shall be used toward the payment of |

| of indebtedness shall be issued in such amounts and bear such terms as the general treasurer, with |
| the advice of the governor, shall determine, which may include provisions for prepayment at any |
| time with or without premium or other prepayment fee at the option of the state. Such notes may |
| be sold on a competitive or negotiated basis at a premium or discount, and may bear interest or not |
| and, if interest bearing, may bear interest at one or more fixed rates or at such rate or rates variable |
| from time to time as determined by such index, banking loan rate or other method specified in any |
| agreement relating to the notes or other evidences of indebtedness. Any such agreement may also |
| include such other covenants and provisions for protecting the rights, security and remedies of the |
| noteholders or lenders as may, in the discretion of the general treasurer, be reasonable, legal and |
| proper. The general treasurer may also enter into agreements with firms to facilitate the issuance |
| of the notes or other evidences of indebtedness, including, but not limited to, trustees, paying |
| agents, underwriters, broker-dealers or placement agents for the underwriting, placement, |
| marketing or remarketing of any such notes or evidences of indebtedness of the state. |

| Article article, the authorization to issue notes in the same amount pursuant to § 30-15-10 of the |
| Rhode Island General Laws approved by a Resolution of the Disaster Emergency Funding Board |
| adopted on March 26, 2020, shall be reduced and extinguished. |

| solely for the purpose of providing such sums as may be appropriated to fund any unanticipated |
| general revenue deficit caused by a general revenue shortfall. |
| (b) In carrying out the provisions of § 35-3-20.1, the state controller shall, based on that |
| fiscal years estimate, transfer the amounts needed to fund cash requirements during the fiscal year; |
| the transfer shall be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year in order to conform to the requirements of |
| § 35-3-20.1. To the extent that funds so transferred are not needed by the Rhode Island Capital Plan |
| fund the funds may be loaned back to the general fund. |

| which are defined to be the aggregate of estimated general revenue, general revenue receivables, |
| and available free surplus in the general fund will be less than the estimates upon which current |
| appropriations were based, the general assembly may make appropriations from the state budget |
| reserve and cash stabilization account for the difference between the estimated total resources and |
| the original estimates upon which enacted appropriations were based, but only in the amount of the |
| difference based upon the revenues projected at the latest state revenue estimating conference |
| pursuant to chapter 16 of this title 35 as reported by the chairperson of that conference. |
| (e) Whenever a transfer has been made pursuant to subsection (d), that transfer shall be |
| considered as estimated general revenues for the purposes of determining the amount to be |
| transferred to the Rhode Island Capital Plan fund for the purposes of subsection § 35-3-20.1(b). |
| (f) Whenever a transfer has been made pursuant to subsection (d), the amount of the transfer |
| shall be transferred to the Rhode Island Capital Plan fund from funds payable into the general |

| was made, except that in fiscal year 2010 there shall be no repayment of the amount transferred, |
| and the repayment shall be made in fiscal year 2011, and except that in fiscal year 2021, |
