SECTION 7. Any provision of this Act to the contrary notwithstanding, the appropriations made for capital improvement projects authorized under this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriation is made; provided that all appropriations made to be expended in fiscal biennium 2019-2021 that are unencumbered as of June 30, 2022, shall lapse as of that date; provided further that this lapsing date shall not apply to non‑general fund appropriations for projects described in part III of this Act where the appropriations have been deemed necessary to qualify for federal aid financing and reimbursement and are unencumbered as of June 30, 2026, shall lapse as of that date.
SECTION 8. In releasing funds for capital improvement projects, the governor shall consider legislative intent and the objectives of the user agency and its programs; the scope and level of the user agency's intended service; and the means, efficiency, and economics by which the project will meet the objectives of the user agency and the State; provided that agencies responsible for construction shall take into consideration legislative intent, the objectives of the user agency and its programs, and the scope and level of the user agency's intended service and construct the improvement to meet the objectives of the user agency in the most efficient and economical manner possible.
SECTION 9.
