CAPITAL OUTLAY REAPPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSION OF THE LIQUIDATION PERIOD - 6812

(Revised and Renumbered from 6834.)

Finance reviews the need to reappropriate funding or extend liquidation for capital outlay projects during the annual budget development process. Reappropriations and extensions of liquidation are proposed in the annual budget bill.

Appropriations for capital outlay included in the Budget Act are available for expenditure pursuant to Control Section 1.80 of the Budget Act in which the appropriation was made unless otherwise noted.  The department must monitor project status to determine if a project will require reappropriation or extension of liquidation. Departments should consult with DGS or the appropriate project manager to maintain current schedule information and to determine if a request is required.

The Budget Bill provides two mechanism for reappropriating authority or extending liquidation:
(1) Control Section 20.00, or (2) A Budget Bill line item. If a project does not qualify for Control Section 20.00, departments must submit a COBCP (See Section 6808).
