_____ 718 1. Within 30 business days after the enactment of federal changes that impact federal grant revenue to the Commonwealth by at least $100 million in the fiscal year in which the federal changes occur or the succeeding fiscal year, whether by an Act of Congress or by executive action, the Department of Planning and Budget shall provide the estimated fiscal impact from such federal changes to the Governor and the Chairs of the Senate Finance and Appropriations and the House Appropriations Committees. 2. Federal grants shall be payable in full only to the extent the nongeneral fund revenues from which the federal grant is payable are estimated to be sufficient. The Governor is authorized to reduce allotments for the impacted federal grants by the amount necessary to ensure that expenditures do not exceed the supporting revenues for such appropriation. 3. If federal grant reductions result in additional general fund expenditures being required (i.e. mandatory programs) that exceed one percent of the general fund operating budget in the fiscal year in which the federal changes occur or the succeeding fiscal year, the Governor shall consult with the leadership of the General Assembly regarding the need to call the General Assembly into special session for budgetary purposes to respond to the impact from reductions in federal grant revenue. 4. These provisions shall not apply to major nongeneral fund sources as defined as Highway Maintenance and Operating Fund and Transportation Trust Fund. § 4-1.03 APPROPRIATION TRANSFERS GENERAL a. During any fiscal year, the Director, Department of Planning and Budget, may transfer appropriation authority from one state or other agency to another, to effect the following: 1) distribution of amounts budgeted in the central appropriation to agencies, or withdrawal of budgeted amounts from agencies in accordance with specific language in the central appropriation establishing reversion clearing accounts; 2) distribution of pass-through grants or other funds held by an agency as fiscal agent; 3) correction of errors within this act, where such errors have been identified in writing by the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance and Appropriations Committees; 4) proper accounting between fund sources 0100 and 0300 in higher education institutions; 5) transfers specifically authorized elsewhere in this act or as specified in the Code of Virginia; 6) to supplement capital projects in order to realize efficiencies or provide for cost overruns unrelated to changes in size or scope; or 7) to administer a program for another agency or to effect budgeted program purposes approved by the General Assembly, pursuant to a signed agreement between the respective agencies. b.
