Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Section 21.260, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 21.260, to read as follows:

Appropriations for the operation and maintenance of departments shall be separately itemized; and separate appropriations shall be made for each item of extraordinary operation and maintenance expenditure and for each major capital expenditure.

            (1) Twenty-five percent shall be retained by the department, agency, or office in addition to any appropriations made to such department, agency, or office in the next succeeding fiscal year;

            (2) Twenty-five percent shall be deposited to the credit of the budget reserve fund established under Article IV, Section 27(a) of the Missouri Constitution; and

            (3) Fifty percent shall be deposited to the credit of the state general revenue fund.
