Agency: Administrative Services Function Each year the Legislature funds items that impact several agencies, don't apply to any specific agency, or pose a conflict of interest to agency management. For these programs, the Legislature directs the Division of Finance to administer payment as intended for each appropriation. In the past, the Legislature funded Y2K, critical land issues, and inmate issues by placing the funds in dedicated accounts managed by the Division of Finance. The Division of Finance manages expenditures as provided in appropriations acts for each program, but is not empowered to make policy decisions regarding funding in the mandated sections. Funding Detail
Program: Land Exchange Distribution Function The 2007 Legislature passed H.B. 134, 'School and Institutional Trust Lands Amendments' which created the Land Exchange Distribution Account and changed the distribution of mineral revenue generated from lands by the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. The Division of Finance receives appropriations from the Land Distribution Exchage Fund and distributes those funds to counties in amounts proportionate to the size of the county and to the amount of mineral revenue generated from county land. Statutory Authority UCA 53C-3-202 requires the deposit of certain collections into the Land Exchange Distribution Account. UCA 53C-3-203 creates the Land Distribution Account and sets forth the required disbursements from the account. Funding Detail
Program: LeRay McAllister Critical Land Conservation Fund Function The LeRay McAllister Critical Land Conservation Fund (CLCF) and Program was transferred to the Governor's Office beginning FY 2010. See 2009 General Session House Bill 391, "Budgetary Procedures Act Revisions," and May 2009 Special Session Senate Bill 1004, "Supplemental Appropriations Adjustments." Historical funding is provided here for the readers' benefit. Funding Detail
Program: Convention Facilities Function House Bill 1011 from the 2005 First Special Session amended the sales and use tax code so that revenues from the transient room tax can be given to convention facilities. The Division of Finance receives appropriated funds that are then transferred to Salt Lake County. Funding Detail Funds carried forward from FY 2005 to FY 2006 before Salt Lake County met all of the conditions for receipt of the funding.
Function The Legislature transferred the Jail Reimbursement Program funding to the Finance Mandated line item beginning FY 2010. See 2009 General Session House Bill 220, "State Payment and Reimbursement to County Correctional Facilities." This action transfers the responsibility to disburse county jail reimbursement funds from Corrections to the Division of Finance. Funding Detail
Program: Development Zone Partial Rebates Function The Division of Finance is required by statute to make partial rebates from the Economic Incentive Restricted Account to certain industries which bring in new state revenues. Documentation is required from the Governor's Office of Economic Development. Statutory Authority UCA 63M-1-2408 establishes the Economic Incentive Restricted Account; which is used to make payments to individuals or companies that have generated verifiable new state revenues. Only projects that include significant capital investment, the creation of high paying jobs, or significant purchases from Utah vendors and providers are eligible. Funding Detail The Division of Finance is required to transfer from new revenues in the General Fund the amount estimated by the Governor's Office needed to make the partial rebates. Rebates are then made from the restricted account.
Function Funding was added to this program as a result of House Bill 213, 'Unused Sick Leave at Retirement Amendments,' 2005 General Session. Funding Detail FY 2005 one-time funds were to be used by the Retirement Office to establish retiree health reimbursement accounts and ongoing funds were to be used to track unused sick leave. During the 2007 General Session the Legislature determined that this program was unnecessary and transferred the remaining $250,000 balance to other programs.
