Section 64. Costs recovered  


Latest version.
  • Costs recovered by the attorney-general may be
      applied by him in payment of the expenses incurred by him in the  action
      or proceeding in which they are received, or of any expenditure which he
      is  authorized  to  incur  not  otherwise provided for. He shall, at the
      close of each fiscal year, render to the comptroller an account of  such
      costs  received,  with  vouchers of such expenditures. During the fiscal
      year, the comptroller is authorized to  transfer  any  amount  available
      within  the account dedicated for this purpose to the general fund, upon
      the request of the director of the budget.  In  the  event  insufficient
      cash  remains  in  such  account  to meet expenditures against available
      appropriations from such  account,  the  comptroller  is  authorized  to
      transfer  the  amounts  necessary  to  meet  such  expenditures from the
      general fund; provided however that in no  event  shall  the  cumulative
      value  of  any such transfers from the general fund made to such account
      within a single fiscal year exceed ten  percent  of  the  value  of  the
      appropriations  made  in  such  fiscal  year  from  such  account or the
      cumulative balance of transfers from the account to  the  general  fund.
      The  comptroller  shall  establish  such  accounts  and  records  as are
      necessary to  provide  an  accurate  accounting  and  reporting  of  the
      transfers to or from the general fund.
