     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 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 § 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 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, as 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

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:

the house finance committee, the chair of the senate finance committee, and the state budget officer.

     SECTION 16. Appropriation of Economic Activity Taxes in accordance with the city of

ending June 30, 2027, all state economic activity taxes to be collected pursuant to § 45-33.4-4, as

amended (including, but not limited to, the amount of tax revenues certified by the commerce

corporation in accordance with § 45-33.4-1(13)), for the purposes of paying debt service on bonds,

funding debt service reserves; paying costs of infrastructure improvements in and around the

ballpark district, arts district, and the growth center district; funding future debt service on bonds;

and funding a redevelopment revolving fund established in accordance with § 45-33-1.

     SECTION 17. The appropriations from federal funds contained in section 1 shall not be

construed to mean any federal funds or assistance appropriated, authorized, allocated or

apportioned to the State of Rhode Island from the state fiscal recovery fund and capital projects

fund enacted pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, P.L. 117-2 for fiscal year 2027

except for those instances specifically designated.

     The State fiscal recovery fund and capital projects fund appropriations herein shall be made

in support of the following projects:

     Federal Funds - State Fiscal Recovery Fund

     Department of Administration (DOA)

     DOA- Pandemic Recovery Office. These funds shall be allocated to finance the pandemic

recovery office established within the department of administration.

     Department of Public Safety (DPS)

     DPS – Support for Survivors of Domestic Violence. These funds shall be allocated to invest

in the nonprofit community to provide additional housing, clinical and mental health services to

victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. This includes increased investments for therapy

and counseling, housing assistance, job training, relocation aid and case management.

     Department of Transportation (DOT)

     DOT - Washington Bridge Project. These funds shall support the non-federal share or

matching requirement on federal funds for priority transportation projects, including but not limited

to the Washington Bridge project.

     Federal Funds - Capital Projects Fund

     Department of Administration (DOA)

     DOA - CPF Administration. These funds shall be allocated to the department of

administration to oversee the implementation of the capital projects fund award from the American

     SECTION 18. Reappropriation of Funding for State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Capital

Projects Fund. Notwithstanding any provision of general law, any unexpended and unencumbered

federal funds from the state fiscal recovery fund and capital projects fund shall be reappropriated

in the ensuing fiscal year and made available for the same purposes. However, any such

reappropriations are subject to final approval by the general assembly as part of the supplemental

appropriations act.

     SECTION 19. The pandemic recovery office shall monitor the progress and performance

of all programs financed by the state fiscal recovery fund and the capital projects fund. On or before

October 31, 2023 through April 30, 2025, the office shall provide a report to the speaker of the

house and senate president, with copies to the chairpersons of the house and senate finance

committees, on a quarterly basis and biannually thereafter until and including October 31, 2026,

identifying programs that are at risk of significant underspending or noncompliance with federal or

state requirements. The report, at a minimum must include an assessment of how programs that are

at risk can be remedied. In the event that any state fiscal recovery fund program underspends its

appropriation or receives program income as defined by U.S. Treasury and would put the state at

risk of forfeiture of federal funds, the governor may propose to reclassify unspent funds or program

income from the at-risk program to other eligible uses as determined by U.S. Treasury. This

proposal shall be referred to the general assembly. For a state fiscal recovery fund program, if the

amount of the underspend or receipt of program income is less than or equal to one million dollars

($1,000,000) and less than or equal to twenty percent (20%) of its total appropriation, the

governor’s proposed reclassification shall take effect immediately. For a state fiscal recovery fund

program, if the amount of the underspend or receipt of program income is greater than one million

dollars ($1,000,000) or greater than twenty percent (20%) of its total appropriation, the governor’s

proposed reclassification shall go into effect thirty (30) days after its referral to the general

assembly by the governor, unless rejected by formal action of the house and senate acting

concurrently within that time.

     SECTION 20. This article shall take effect as of July 1, 2026, except as otherwise provided

herein.
