R23-3-5. Funding of Programs

Programs may be funded from one of the following sources.

(1) Funds appropriated for that purpose by the Legislature.

(2) Funds provided by the agency.

(a) This would typically be the funding source for the development of programs before the Legislature funds the project.

(b) Funds advanced by agencies for programming costs may be included in the project budget request but no assurance can be given that project funds will be available to reimburse the agency.

(c) Agencies that advance funds for programming that would otherwise lapse may not be reimbursed in a subsequent fiscal year.

(3) If an agency is able to demonstrate to the Board that there is no other funding source for programming for a project that is likely to be funded in the upcoming legislative session, it may request to borrow funds from the Planning Fund as provided for in Section R23-3-8.
