Fannin HB No. 168
Abstract: Appropriates funds and provides for ancillary expenses of state government, including
internal service funds, auxiliary accounts, and enterprise funds.
Proposed law provides for the establishment and reestablishment of agency ancillary funds, to be
specifically known as internal service funds, auxiliary accounts, or enterprise funds for certain state
institutions, officials, and agencies. Requires the appropriated funds, to the extent deposited, unless
otherwise specified, to be used for working capital in the conduct of business enterprises rendering
public, auxiliary, and interagency services. Requires receipts from the conduct of such businesses
to be deposited to the credit of each ancillary fund for FY 2013-2014. Requires all funds to be
expended in accordance with public bid laws.
Proposed law requires, except as otherwise provided, any fund equity resulting from prior year
operations be included as a resource of the fund from which it is derived. Provides that all funds on
deposit with the state treasury at the close of the fiscal year are authorized to be transferred to each
fund as equity for FY 2014-2015. Further provides that all unexpended cash balances as of June 30,
2014, shall be remitted to the state treasurer on or before Aug. 14, 2014. Further provides that if not
reestablished in the subsequent year's act, the agency must liquidate all assets and return all advances
no later than Aug. 14, 2014.
Proposed law provides that the program descriptions contained in the act are not enacted into law
by virtue of their inclusion in the act. Further provides that, unless explicitly stated otherwise, each
program objective and associated performance indicator contained in the act shall reflect
performance to be achieved for FY 2013-2014.
Proposed law provides that all money from federal, interagency, statutory dedications, or self-
generated revenues of an agency be deemed available for expenditures in the amounts appropriated,
and any increase in such revenues over the amounts appropriated shall only be available for
expenditure by the agency with approval of the division of administration and the Joint Legislative
Committee on the Budget (JLCB).
Proposed law provides that the number of employees approved for each agency may be increased
by the commissioner of administration when appropriate documentation is deemed valid; however,
any request which exceeds five positions requires approval of the division of administration and
JLCB. Proposed law requires any agency with an appropriation level of $30 million or more to include
positions within its table of organization which perform internal auditing service.
Proposed law provides for the agencies and amount of the working capital fund allocated to each.
Effective July 1, 2013.
