§ 32:33-9.

ARTICLE IX. FINANCE a. The commission shall submit to the governor or designated officer or officers of

each compacting state a budget of its estimated expenditures for such period as may

be required by the laws of that state for presentation to the legislature thereof. b. Each of the commission's budgets of estimated expenditures shall contain specific

recommendations of the amounts to be appropriated by each of the compacting states. The total amount of appropriations requested under the budget shall be apportioned

among the compacting states as follows: one-half in equal shares; one-fourth among

the compacting states in accordance with the ratio of their populations to the total

population of the compacting states, based on the last decennial federal census;

and one-fourth among the compacting states in accordance with the ratio of industrialized/modular

building units manufactured in each state to the total of all units manufactured in

all of the compacting states. c. The commission shall not pledge the credit of any compacting state. The commission may meet any of its obligations in whole or in part with funds available

to it by donations, grants, or sale of labels, provided that the commission takes

specific action setting aside these funds prior to incurring any obligation to be

met in whole or in part in this manner. Except where the commission makes use of funds available to it by donations, grants

or sale of labels, the commission shall not incur any obligation prior to the allotment

of funds by the compacting states adequate to meet the same. d. The commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the commission shall be subject to the audit and

accounting procedures established under its bylaws. All receipts and disbursements of funds handled by the commission shall be audited

yearly by a certified or licensed public accountant and the report of the audit shall

be included in and become part of the annual report of the commission. e. The accounts of the commission shall be open at any reasonable time for inspection

by duly constituted officers of the compacting states and any person authorized by

the commission. f. Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to prevent commission compliance

relating to audit or inspection of accounts by or behalf of any government contributing

to the support of the commission.
