     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

associated with providing the services; and allocate the costs of central administrative services

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

     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. The executive office of health and human services shall report on programs
supported by Rural Health Transformation program federal funds. Starting January 1, 2027, the
executive office shall provide a report to the speaker of the house and the president of the senate,
with copies to the chairpersons of the house and senate finance committees, on a quarterly basis
identifying the separate programs, progress made towards reaching the program goals, and
identifying any that are at risk of significant underspending or noncompliance with federal
requirements.
     SECTION 21. This article shall take effect as of July 1, 2026, except as otherwise provided
herein.
