Administration and Finance Efficiencies

SECTION 168.   (a) If the secretary of administration and finance determines that reforms or initiatives related to procurement or energy consumption, hereinafter referred to as integrity enhancements, have resulted in cost savings for an agency of the executive department during fiscal year 2016, the secretary may reduce allotments under section 9B of chapter 29 of the General Laws to reflect any of the amounts saved; provided, however, that no fewer than 15 days prior to reducing allotments, the secretary shall notify the house and senate committees on ways and means in writing.

(b) If, as of October 1, 2015, the secretary of administration and finance determines that allotment reductions related to integrity enhancements in fiscal year 2016 shall be insufficient to generate $30,000,000, the secretary shall submit to the house and senate committees on ways and means a cost-savings plan to reduce allotments under section 9B of chapter 29 of the General Laws; provided, however, that not fewer than 15 days prior to reducing allotments, the secretary shall notify the house and senate committees on ways and means in writing.

(c) The total amount of allotment reductions under this section shall not exceed $30,000,000 in fiscal year 2016.
