Sec. 2166.252. MODIFYING PROJECT TO CONFORM TO APPROPRIATIONS. (a) If money appropriated for a project is less than the amount originally requested or is less than the amount required for the project as originally submitted to the state budget agencies, the commission and the using agency shall confer on how to bring the project cost within the amount appropriated. The commission and the using agency shall make every effort to comply with legislative intent to modify the project as originally submitted.
(b) The commission shall notify the using agency that it considers the project canceled if it is impossible to modify the project to bring the cost within the amount appropriated.
(c) If authorized by an act appropriating money for a project, a using agency may appeal the decision of the commission to cancel a project to the governor by submitting a request that:
(1) the project be undertaken as stage construction; or
(2) the money available for the project be supplemented by the transfer of money appropriated to the same using agency for other projects of equal or lower priority or from the unused contingency reserves of any project of the same using agency.
(d) The governor shall, after obtaining the advice of the Legislative Budget Board, rule on a request submitted under Subsection (c). If the ruling favors the using agency, the commission shall proceed with the project.
