STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Nineteen
AN ACT relative to transfers within the judicial branch.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Appropriations; Transfers Authorized. Amend RSA 9:16-a, I to read as follows:
I. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, every department as defined in RSA 9:1 is hereby authorized to transfer funds within and among all accounting units within said department, provided that any transfer of $100,000 or more shall require prior approval of the fiscal committee of the general court and the governor and council, and provided that no funds may be transferred in violation of the provisions of RSA 9:17-a, 9:17-b, or 9:17-c, [or 9:17-d] or in violation of any restrictions otherwise provided by law. The restrictions included in RSA 9:17-a, 9:17-b, or 9:17-c[, or 9:17-d] shall not apply if a transfer is necessary to satisfy a federal maintenance of effort requirement to ensure the receipt of federal funds.
2 Transfer of Appropriations; Judicial Branch. Amend RSA 9:17-d to read as follows:
9:17-d Transfer of Appropriations, Judicial Branch. The supreme court may transfer funds for any specific purposes to funds for other purposes in the general appropriations for any accounting unit within the judicial branch, provided that any transfer of [$75,000] $100,000 or more shall require prior approval of the fiscal committee of the general court, and provided that no funds may be transferred in violation of the provisions of RSA 9:17-a or any other restriction provided by law. The judicial branch shall certify such transfers to the commissioner of administrative services. The certification shall state that the transfers are necessary to efficiently carry out the functions of the courts and that the legislative fiscal committee has approved the transfers. The provisions of this section shall not supersede the provisions of RSA 99:4 and RSA 9:17-a.
