SUMMARY

This amendment makes 2 technical changes to Committee Amendment "A".

The first change corrects a program number to assign it to the proper Departmentwide program in the Department of Health and Human Services.

The 2nd change adds a provision in the contingent transfer from the Maine Budget Stabilization Fund. In the event that there is a transfer to the designated General Fund program, the added phrase that the transfers are considered adjustments to appropriations will avoid a discrepancy between the accounting and budgetary records of the Office of the State Controller and the Bureau of the Budget in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services.
