     SECTION 2. Each line appearing in Section 1 of this Article shall constitute an

appropriation.

     SECTION 3. Upon the transfer of any function of a department or agency to another

department or agency, the Governor is hereby authorized by means of executive order to transfer

or reallocate, in whole or in part, the appropriations and the full-time equivalent limits affected

thereby; provided, however, in accordance with Rhode Island General Law, Section 42-6-5, when

the duties or administrative functions of government are designated by law to be performed within

a particular department or agency, no transfer of duties or functions and no re-allocation, in whole

or part, or appropriations and full-time equivalent positions to any other department or agency shall

be authorized.

     SECTION 4. From the appropriation for contingency shall be paid such sums as may be

required at the discretion of the Governor to fund expenditures for which appropriations may not

exist. Such contingency funds may also be used for expenditures in the several departments and

agencies where appropriations are insufficient, or where such requirements are due to unforeseen

conditions or are non-recurring items of an unusual nature. Said appropriations may also be used

for the payment of bills incurred due to emergencies or to any offense against public peace and

amended. All expenditures and transfers from this account shall be approved by the Governor.

     SECTION 5. The general assembly authorizes the state controller to establish the internal

service accounts shown below, and no other, to finance and account for the operations of state

agencies that provide services to other agencies, institutions and other governmental units on a cost

reimbursed basis. The purpose of these accounts is to ensure that certain activities are managed in

a businesslike manner, promote efficient use of services by making agencies pay the full costs

associated with providing the services, and allocate the costs of central administrative services

across all fund types, so that federal and other non-general fund programs share in the costs of

general government support. The controller is authorized to reimburse these accounts for the cost

of work or services performed for any other department or agency subject to the following

expenditure limitations:
