Mr. Chairman, Supplementary Appropriation No. 4 requests authority for additional appropriations of $569,722 for additional operations expenditures for departmental over-expenditures.
This request is being made to comply with the authorization process for over-expenditures of appropriations, occurring in the 2002-2003 fiscal year, as provided for in the Financial Administration Act, as follows:
- $213,000 for the Department of Health and Social Services for expenditures incurred for the provision of non-insured health services on behalf of the federal government.
- $206,000 for the Department of Justice for the additional expenses incurred due to the retroactive application of the new job evaluation of correctional worker positions.
- $150,722 for the Department of Transportation for additional expenses incurred for 2002-2003 but not paid as of March 31, 2003.
Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary appropriation document.
