(1) The transfer, to one or more other counties, of any portion of a county's annual grant which is not included in such county's program budget for the current program year; and

(e) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to subsection (d), if a county does not expend the full amount of the grant received for any one year under the provisions of K.S.A. 75-7038 through 75-7053, and amendments thereto, the county shall retain the unexpended amount of the grant for expenditure for juvenile correctional services as described in K.S.A. 75-7038, and amendments thereto, during any ensuing calendar year. The commissioner of juvenile justice shall reduce the grant for the ensuing calendar year by an amount equal to the amount of the previous year's grant which was not expended and was retained by the county, unless the commissioner finds that the amount so retained is needed for and will be expended during the ensuing calendar year for expenditures under the applicable comprehensive plan.
