appropriation.

SECTION 3. Upon the transfer of any function of a department or agency to another

department or agency, the 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

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

SECTION 4. From the appropriation for contingency shall be paid such sums as may be

required at the discretion of the 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

amended. All expenditures and transfers from this account shall be approved by the 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

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:

SECTION 15. For fiscal year 2021 only, upon the directive of the controller, with the

consent of the auditor general, the budget officer is hereby authorized to convert any escrow

SECTION 17. Relating to Borrowing in Anticipation of Receipts from Taxes. -- (a) The

State of Rhode Island is hereby authorized to borrow during its fiscal year ending June 30, 2021,

in anticipation of receipts from taxes and other sources such sum or sums, at such time or 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, 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

Art1
RELATING TO MAKING APPROPRIATIONS IN SUPPORT OF FY 2021

they are needed. The interest income earned from such investments shall be used to pay the interest

on the promissory note or notes, or other evidences of indebtedness, 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 long-term debt service of the state,

unless prohibited by federal law or regulation.

(b) Notwithstanding any other authority to the contrary, duly authorized borrowing in

anticipation of receipts of taxes and other sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, may

be issued in the form of notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the state. In connection

therewith, the state, acting through the general treasurer, may enter into agreements with banks,

trust companies or other financial institutions within or outside the state or with the United States

government and agencies of the United States government, whether in the form of letters or lines

of credit, liquidity facilities, insurance or other support arrangements. Any notes or other evidences

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.

stabilization account, which shall be administered by the state controller and which shall be used

Art1
RELATING TO MAKING APPROPRIATIONS IN SUPPORT OF FY 2021
(Page 41 of 53)

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

fund the funds may be loaned back to the general fund.

securities held for the credit of the state budget reserve and cash stabilization account exceeds three

and four tenths of one percent (3.4%) of total fiscal year resources, consisting of the aggregate of

(1) actual revenues from taxes and other departmental general revenue sources; and (2) the general

revenue balance available for appropriations at the beginning of the fiscal year; the excess shall be

transferred to the Rhode Island Capital Plan fund, to be used solely for capital projects. Provided

further, the applicable percentage shall increase by four-tenths of one percent (.4%) for the

succeeding four (4) fiscal years as follows:

Fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 3.8%

Fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 4.2%

Fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 4.6%

Fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 and thereafter 5.0%

(d) At any time after the third quarter of a fiscal year, that it is indicated that total resources

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 latest state revenue estimating conference pursuant

to chapter 16 of 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

revenue fund pursuant to § 35-3-20.1 in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the transfer

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

Art1
RELATING TO MAKING APPROPRIATIONS IN SUPPORT OF FY 2021

and the repayment shall be made in fiscal year 2011, and except that in fiscal year 2021,

$90,000,000 of the repayment amount shall be transferred and the remainder of the repayment shall
