Authorization for Approval of Requests for Transfers Among Line item Appropriations

(30) T h e comptroller has requested authority to initiate and approve requests to the governor through the Board of Higher Education for transfers among line item appropriations as authorized under Chapter 127, Section 149.2, of the Illinois Revised Statutes. T h e statute provides that transfers may be made only among regular operating appropriations and grants, except that no funds may be transferred from any appropriation for personal services nor for any appropriation for state contribution for employee group insurance. T h e total of such transfers is limited by the statute in any fiscal year to a sum not to exceed 2 percent of the aggregate amount appropriated within the same treasury fund (General Revenue, Income, Agricultural Premium). I concur in the request.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, authority was given as requested.

T h e latter term designates funds received by the University under contracts with the United States government, private corporations, and other organizations; grants from foundations, corporations, and other donors; and University revolving funds authorized by law. The total amounts of these purchases were: From Appropriated Recommended From Institutional Recommended Grand Total Funds $ 58 795 00 Funds 916 614 62 $975 409 62
