What it changes

  1. Page 1, before line 1 by inserting: “Section
  2. NEW SECTION . 2.12C Continuing appropriations.
  3. Annual appropriations not enacted. a. (1) This section applies to any fiscal year for which one or more line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, or standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law for the immediately preceding fiscal year have been passed by the general assembly and presented to the governor but have not been enacted in an identical provision for the fiscal year to which this section applies on or before July 1 of the fiscal year. (2) If, on or after July 1 of the fiscal year, a line item appropriation, standing limited appropriation, or standing unlimited appropriation otherwise limited by law for the immediately preceding fiscal year is enacted in an identical provision for the fiscal year to which this section applies, this section shall cease to apply for purposes of that appropriation. The amount of moneys already expended under subsection 3 for the appropriation shall supplant a like amount under the appropriation enacted for the fiscal year. (3) For purposes of this paragraph, an appropriation for the immediately preceding fiscal year is identical to an appropriation enacted for the fiscal year to which this section applies if there are no differences between the two provisions other than reference to the fiscal year, references to the legislation’s subunit hierarchy, or differences in amounts for the appropriation, allocations, or full-time equivalent positions. b. For purposes of this subsection, “enacted” means the bill or joint resolution that includes the appropriation has been passed by the general assembly, presented to the governor, and one of the following occurs under Article III, section 16, of the Constitution of the State of Iowa: -1- HF 2694.4377.S (2) 91 mb 1/ 5 (1) The governor signs the bill or joint resolution without disapproving the appropriations item. (2) The bill or joint resolution becomes law as described in section 3.5. (3) The bill or joint resolution becomes law notwithstanding the governor’s objections by a majority of two thirds of the members of each chamber of the general assembly.
  4. Prior fiscal year appropriations determined. a. For all line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, and standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law, including appropriations from federal and nonstate funds, the department of management, in consultation with the legislative services agency, shall determine the amount of such line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, and standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law, including appropriations from federal and nonstate funds, made for the immediately preceding fiscal year by taking into consideration all of the following: (1) All Acts appropriating moneys for that immediately preceding fiscal year. (2) All interdepartmental and intradepartmental transfers made pursuant to section 8.39 and other provisions of law for that immediately preceding fiscal year. (3) Other relevant provisions of law. b. The department of management, in consultation with the legislative services agency, shall also identify the entities to which such appropriations were made, or the entities’ successors.
  5. Continuing appropriation. There is appropriated from the appropriate state fund or account to the entities identified pursuant to subsection 2, for the fiscal year to which this section applies, amounts, or so much thereof as is necessary, equal to the amounts of all line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, and standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law, including federal and nonstate funds, -2- HF 2694.4377.S (2) 91 mb 2/ 5 made for the immediately preceding fiscal year, as determined pursuant to subsection
  7. Duplicative standing appropriations supplanted. The amounts appropriated under subsection 3 shall supplant any duplicative standing appropriation for the fiscal year to which this section applies.
  8. Miscellaneous provisions applicable. Powers, duties, limitations, or requirements, including reporting requirements, set forth for appropriations applicable to the immediately preceding fiscal year are applicable for the fiscal year to which this section applies for appropriations under subsection 3, and any specified date contained therein shall apply one year later than specified.
  9. Allocation amounts. For any line item appropriation, standing limited appropriation, or standing unlimited appropriation otherwise limited by law identified pursuant to subsection 2, which is subject to an allocation amount for the immediately preceding fiscal year, the amount appropriated under subsection 3 based on the appropriation shall be subject to the same allocation amount for the fiscal year to which this section applies.
  10. Nonreversion. For any line item appropriation, standing limited appropriation, or standing unlimited appropriation otherwise limited by law identified pursuant to subsection 2 that is subject to a specified nonreversion provision, whether for a limited or unlimited period, the amount appropriated under subsection 3 based on the appropriation shall be subject to the same specified nonreversion provision, and in the case of a specified nonreversion provision for a limited period, the period shall be considered to be one fiscal year longer than specified for the appropriation identified pursuant to subsection
  12. Full-time equivalent positions. The amounts appropriated under subsection 3 to an entity identified pursuant to subsection 2 may be used by the entity for a number of -3- HF 2694.4377.S (2) 91 mb 3/ 5 full-time equivalent positions for the fiscal year to which this section applies, equal to the number of full-time equivalent positions authorized for the entity for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
  13. Exclusions. a. This section does not apply to appropriations identified under subsection 2 that the department of management, in consultation with the legislative services agency, determines to be one-time appropriations.

This section does not apply to an appropriation identified under subsection 2 if the general assembly passed and presented to the governor an identical provision, as described in subsection 1, paragraph “a” , subparagraph (3), applicable for the fiscal year to which this section applies but the item was disapproved by the governor under Article III, section 16, of the Constitution of the State of Iowa.
  14. Adjustment for expenditure limitation. If appropriations made from the general fund of the state pursuant to subsection 3 would not comply with the general fund expenditure limitation under section 8.54, the department of management, in consultation with the legislative services agency, shall -4- HF 2694.4377.S (2) 91 mb 4/ 5 reduce appropriations made from the general fund of the state pursuant to subsection 3, each by the same percentage, such that appropriations made from the general fund of the state pursuant to subsection 3 comply with the general fund expenditure limitation under section 8.54.”
