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

conditions or are non-recurring items of an unusual nature. Said appropriations may also be used

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

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.
