§ 67-3512A. Temporary reduction of spending authority
Whenever the governor as chief budget officer of the state may determine that the expenditures authorized by the legislature for the current fiscal year shall exceed anticipated moneys available to meet those expenditures, the governor by executive order may reduce the spending authority on file in the office of the state controller for any department, office or institution of the state; provided, that no reduction of spending authority for the elected officers in the executive department shall be made to a level which prohibits the discharge of constitutional duties and provided that no reduction of spending authority for the legislative and judicial departments shall be made without the permission in writing of the head of such department. The head of any executive department, office or institution of the state may appeal the temporary reduction of spending authority to the state board of examiners, and the state board of examiners may, after hearing and consideration of evidence, restore said spending authority to its original level or to such lesser level as may be required to assist the state in maintaining a balanced budget. The governor may not temporarily reduce spending authority to a level lower than that required to insure that state expenditures do not exceed revenues. A temporary reduction of spending authority pursuant to this section shall not result in a reduction of appropriation. The governor at any time by executive order may restore spending authority which has been temporarily reduced to its original level.
