§ 11258 State Agency Service Estimates

Key Takeaways

  • •If one part of the state government does work or gives stuff to another part, they can ask for a written guess of how much money will be spent on that work or stuff in the next year.
  • •The State Controller (the person in charge of money) can move the guessed amount of money from the agency that needs the work done to the agency that will do the work.
  • •The Director of General Services can also tell the State Controller to move money based on the guess or other reasons.

Example

The Department of Transportation (DOT) needs new computers. They ask the state's tech agency to provide these computers. The tech agency asks DOT for a written guess of how much they plan to spend on computers in the next year.

DOT writes down they think they'll spend $50,000 on computers. The State Controller can then move $50,000 from DOT's budget to the tech agency's budget so they can buy the computers.

§ 11258 State Agency Service Estimates

Any state agency which normally, as a part of its regular operating functions, is engaged in the business of performing work for, or furnishing services, materials or equipment to, other state agencies shall, at its request, be furnished by such other state agencies with a written estimate of the amount which such state agencies expect to expend for such work, services, materials or equipment during a period designated by the state agency requesting said estimate, not exceeding one year. The State Controller from time to time shall transfer the amount so estimated by each state agency, or such portion thereof as he may determine; provided, that he shall transfer any amount ordered by the Director of General Services on the basis of such estimate or otherwise, from the fund or appropriation from which payment is expected to be made for such work, services, materials or equipment to the fund or appropriation of the state agency which is to perform such work, or render such services or furnish any materials or equipment. (Amended by Stats. 1965, Ch. 371.)
