EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
This bill relates to the powers, duties, and
responsibilities of state government entities associated with
the budget, financial control, and information technology.
For purposes of Code chapter 8 (budget and financial
control), the bill defines “custodial funds”, “general fund”,
“government funds”, “private purpose trust funds”, and “special
revenue fund”. The term “repayment receipts” is redefined as
“appropriated receipts” and the term is changed throughout the
Code.
The bill defines “capital project” for purposes of Code
section 8.3A (capital project planning and budgeting). The
term is also used in Code sections 8.5 and 8.22 for budgeting
purposes.
The bill authorizes the director of the department of
management (DOM) to establish, abolish, and consolidate
divisions within DOM. The bill strikes a provision requiring
the DOM director to post a $25,000 surety bond. Under current
law (Code section 8A.321(12)), the department of administrative
services (DAS) purchases a blanket surety bond for state
officers.
The bill consolidates Code sections 8.5 and 8.6, which
relate to general and specific duties of the DOM director.
Duties relating to the reporting of standing appropriations are
moved to Code section 8.22. Duties relating to the preparation
of local budget reports are moved to new Code section 8.48.
The bill adds duties relating to information technology as
part of the bill’s integration of Code chapter 8B (information
technology) into Code chapter 8, including preparing
