Except as provided in subsection 2, for purposes 25 of section 8.33 , unless specifically provided otherwise, 26 unencumbered or unobligated moneys made from an appropriation 27 in this division of this Act shall not revert but shall remain 28 available for expenditure for the purposes designated until the 29 close of the fiscal year that ends three years after the end of 30 the fiscal year for which the appropriation is made.

H.F. 2500 2. For purposes of section 8.33 , unless specifically 1 provided otherwise, unencumbered or unobligated moneys 2 appropriated and allocated for the costs of major maintenance 3 of monuments without dedicated funds available for maintenance 4 and restoration, in section 1, subsection 1, in this division 5 of this 2016 Iowa Act, shall not revert but shall remain 6 available for the purpose designated until the close of the 7 fiscal year that begins July 1, 2023 . 8 Sec. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of immediate 9 importance, takes effect upon enactment. 10 EXPLANATION 11 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 12 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 13 Under current law, the department of administrative 14 services (DAS) controls a monument maintenance account in 15 the state treasury. The account includes moneys deposited 16 into the account for the maintenance of state monuments. 17 Any maintenance moneys in the fund for a state monument and 18 interest earned on the moneys must be used to maintain the 19 designated monument. 20 For FY 2016-2017, the general assembly allocated $100,000 21 from an appropriation to DAS for the costs of major maintenance 22 of monuments without dedicated funds available for maintenance 23 and restoration. However, the general assembly placed a 24 condition on the allocation restricting the receipt of moneys 25 unless DAS receives at least $2 from private sources for each 26 $1 allocated. 27 This bill strikes the private source funding requirement, 28 and provides that any moneys remaining from the original 29 appropriation are allocated for monument maintenance. 30 The bill strikes the provision under which the moneys will 31 revert at the end of FY 2023-2024. 32 The bill takes effect upon enactment. 33 -2- LSB 5749YH (4) 90 th/ns 2/ 2
