1.6pertaining to that bill for the fiscal year ending that June 30 are in effect again at the base
1.7level through the fiscal year beginning July 1 of that odd-numbered year. The base level
1.8is the amount appropriated for the fiscal year ending that June 30, except as otherwise
1.9provided by subdivision 2 or by other law. The amounts needed to implement this section
1.10are appropriated from each fund covered by this section. The house of representatives
1.11and the senate may adopt joint resolutions designating the major appropriations bills and
1.12specifying which appropriations pertain to each major appropriations bill for purposes
1.13of this section.
1.14    Subd. 2. Exceptions and adjustments. An appropriation remaining in effect under
1.15authority of subdivision 1 must be adjusted or discontinued as required by other law and
1.16in the following circumstances:
1.17    (a) An appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30 of the odd-numbered year
1.18does not remain in effect for the fiscal year starting on July 1 if the legislature specifically
1.19designated the appropriation as a onetime appropriation, if the commissioner of finance
1.20determines that the legislature clearly intended the appropriation to be onetime, or if the
1.21program for which the appropriation was made expires on or before July 1.
1.22    (b) If an appropriation remains in effect under authority of subdivision 1, but the
1.23program or activity that is the subject of the appropriation is scheduled to expire during a
1.24fiscal year, the commissioner of finance must pro rate the appropriation.
1.25    (c) The commissioner of finance may make technical adjustments to the amount of
1.26an appropriation to the extent the commissioner determines the technical adjustments
2.1are needed to accurately reflect the amount that constitutes the annual base level of the
2.2appropriation. The commissioner may make an adjustment under this clause only if one or
2.3more of the following conditions is met:
2.4    (1) the legislature previously appropriated money for a biennium, with the entire
2.5appropriation being allocated to one year of the biennium, and the commissioner
2.6determines an adjustment is necessary to accurately reflect the annual amount needed to
2.7maintain program operations at the same level;
2.8    (2) laws or policies under which revenues and expenditures are accounted for have
2.9changed to eliminate or consolidate certain funds or accounts or to create new funds or
2.10accounts, and adjustments in appropriations are necessary to implement these changes;
2.11    (3) duties have been transferred between agency programs, or between agencies, and
2.12adjustments in appropriations are necessary to reflect these transfers; or
2.13    (4) a program, or changes to a program, were not fully operational in one fiscal year,
2.14but will be fully operational in the following year, and an adjustment to the appropriation
2.15is needed to accurately reflect the annual cost of the new or changed program.
2.16    The commissioner of finance must give the chairs of the senate finance and
2.17house ways and means committees written notice of any adjustments made under this
2.18subdivision.
