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

thereby.
     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

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

copy of the recommendation and authorization to adjust shall be transmitted to the chairman of
the House Finance Committee, Senate Finance Committee, the House Fiscal Advisor and the
