§ 622 Agriculture Fund Transfer Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •If the department has extra money (not from the General Fund) that it doesn't need, it can move that money to the Department of Agriculture Building Fund.
  • •The boss of the department (the secretary) decides how much money to move.
  • •If the amount is more than $250,000, the Director of Finance must agree to the move.

Example

Imagine the Department of Agriculture has $300,000 left over from a special project that it doesn't need anymore.

The secretary can decide to move this extra money to the Department of Agriculture Building Fund, but since it's more than $250,000, the Director of Finance must agree to this move.
