2009 California Government Code - Section 13320-13326 :: Article 2. Fiscal Year Budgets

13320.  Every State agency and court for which an appropriation has
been made, shall submit to the department for approval, a complete
and detailed budget at such time and in such form as may be
prescribed by the department, setting forth all proposed expenditures
and estimated revenues for the ensuing fiscal year.

13321.  The budgets shall show the allotments of appropriations or
other funds available for the fiscal year by quarter or other period
of time and by organization unit. Expenditures may be classified by
line item for each program in the detail prescribed by the
department. The department may require the head of the state agency
or court, in making up the budget allotments, to set aside a reserve
for contingencies or other purposes in such amount as the department
determines.

13322.  Until enactment of the budget act containing the
appropriations funding the fiscal year budget, the department may
revise, alter, or amend any fiscal year budget, if, in its opinion,
revision, alteration or amendment is required in the interest of the
State. The department shall notify the head of the State agency or
court of any revision, alteration, or amendment of its fiscal year
budget.

13323.  Upon request of a State agency or court at any time during
the fiscal year, the department may authorize transfers between its
budget allotments, including reserves.

13323.5.  Notwithstanding any limitation contained in any budget
subject to this article, the department, upon the request of any
agency which has an employee or employees on disability leave under
Section 4800 of the Labor Code, may authorize an increase in the
budgeted number for the agency, in order to establish the personnel
level of the agency at the level provided for in the agency budget
plus any employees on disability leave under Section 4800 of the
Labor Code.

13324.  Every person who incurs any expenditure in excess of the
allotments or other provisions of the fiscal year budget as approved
by the department or as subsequently changed by or with the approval
of the department, is liable both personally and on his official bond
for the amount of the excess expenditures.

13325.  Approval by the Department of General Services of contracts,
leases and other transactions or expenditures of state agencies,
where such approval is required by law, shall be necessary regardless
of the fact that the Department of Finance may have approved a
budget, under this article or any other law, providing funds for such
lease, contract or other transaction or expenditure.

13326.  Every state agency, when making requests or preparing
budgets to be submitted to the Federal Government for funds,
equipment, material or services, other than for highway purposes,
shall, upon completion of such request or budget, first submit it to
the department. The department shall have authority to approve,
disapprove, modify, or amend any such request or budget before it is
submitted to the proper federal authority.
