A. When lump sum appropriations are made for personal services, or for maintenance and operations, or for maintenance and operations including personal services, no monies so appropriated shall be available for payments for such expenses until a schedule of positions and salaries and the amounts to be available for the expenses shall have been approved by the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and posted to the state accounting system. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to such appropriations for the Legislature or judiciary, for expenses of holding elections, or for temporary services or day labor.

B. Any such approved schedule of positions and salaries may be amended with the approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.

C. The request officer for each agency shall show the classification of the expenditures for their agency, and such classification shall follow the uniform budget and accounting classifications adopted for similar spending agencies, except for items peculiar to certain departments or institutions.

D. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall not have authority to fix the amount of any agency salary or eliminate any position listed on such schedule. However, the Director shall not approve the schedule of positions and salaries when the total amount of funds requested to be allotted fails to reserve a sufficient balance to finance the operations of the agency for the remainder of that fiscal year, considering any possible failure in the revenue estimated to be collected for that fiscal year.

E. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall not have the authority to curtail the operation of any particular part of the program, but shall order a reduction in the total program only where insufficient revenues are anticipated to carry on the program for the period concerned.
