§1511. Reserve for General Fund Operating Capital

 
Funds in the Reserve for General Fund Operating Capital may
not exceed 4% of the total General Fund revenues in the
immediately preceding state fiscal year. The State Controller
may, at the close of each fiscal year, transfer from the
Unappropriated Surplus of the General Fund to the Reserve for
General Fund Operating Capital such amounts as may be available
from time to time up to an amount of $1,000,000 a year until a
maximum of $50,000,000 is achieved. The State Controller is
further authorized, at the close of each fiscal year, to transfer
from the Unappropriated Surplus of the General Fund to the Loan
Insurance Reserve amounts as may be available from time to time,
up to an amount of $1,000,000 per year. The balance of this
reserve must be paid to the Finance Authority of Maine if such
payment does not cause the balance in the reserve fund maintained
by the authority, when added to amounts held in the Finance
Authority of Maine Mortgage Insurance Fund that are not committed
or encumbered for another purpose, to exceed $35,000,000. Any
balance in the Loan Insurance Reserve is appropriated for this
purpose.
