that the estimate of expenditures
will exceed the expenditure
authority of this item, the
department shall so report to the
Legislature. At the time the
report is made, the amount of the
appropriation made in this item
shall be increased by the amount
of the excess unless and until

approve separate legislation
to authorize implementation of

the Director of Finance shall
not allocate any funds related

pursuant to Provision 2, and
the expenditure of funds for
those pending agreements shall
not be deemed to have been
approved by the Legislature.
