Section 6-27-20. Local Government Fund; fund exempt from mid-year cuts; exception.
There is created the Local Government Fund administered by the State Treasurer. This fund is part of the general fund of the State. It is the intent of the General Assembly that this fund not be subject to mid-year cuts. However, if mid-year cuts are mandated by the Executive Budget Office or the General Assembly, as appropriate, to avoid a year-end deficit, this fund is not subject to such cuts, except by a majority vote of the entire State Fiscal Accountability Authority which is separate and apart from any other reduction. These cuts are permitted only to the extent that counties and municipalities do not receive less funding than received in the immediate preceding fiscal year. The Local Government Fund must be financed as provided in this chapter.
HISTORY: 1991 Act No. 171, Part II, Section 22A.
