§ 42-41-2. Purpose.
(a) It is the purpose of this chapter to clarify the roles of the state executive and legislative branches in budgeting and appropriating federal monies received by the state to:
(1) Assure adherence to state policies and priorities established by statute or executive orders pursuant thereto;
(2) Avoid commitments of present state monies or implied commitments of future state monies to replace withdrawn or diminished federal monies except through established budgetary and appropriation processes; and
(3) Assure that acceptance and use of such federal monies is in the overall best interest of the state.
