§ 17. Federal funding cuts; transfer of personnel
To enable the Governor to respond effectively to cuts in federal spending and in the

or the Joint Fiscal Committee if the General Assembly is not in session, temporarily
transfer positions among the departments and agencies of the Executive Branch of government;
