Ohio Revised Code Title I. State Government § 131.35

(1) No state agency may make expenditures of any federal revenue, whether the revenue is advanced prior to expenditure or as reimbursement, unless such expenditures are made pursuant to specific appropriations of the general assembly, are authorized by the controlling board pursuant to division (A)(5) of this section, or are authorized by an executive order issued in accordance with section 107.17 of the Revised Code, and until an allotment has been approved by the director of budget and management. All federal revenue received by a state agency shall be reported to the director within fifteen days of the receipt of the revenue or the notification of award, whichever occurs first. The director shall prescribe the forms and procedures to be used when reporting the receipt of federal revenue.

(2) If the federal revenue received is greater than the amount of the revenue appropriated by the general assembly for a specific purpose, the total appropriation of federal and state funds for such purpose shall remain at the amount designated by the general assembly, except that the expenditure of federal revenue received in excess of such specific appropriation may be authorized by the controlling board, subject to division (D) of this section.

(3) To the extent that the expenditure of excess federal revenue is authorized, the controlling board may transfer a like amount of general revenue fund appropriation authority from the affected agency to the emergency purposes appropriation of the controlling board, if such action is permitted under federal regulations.

(4) Additional funds may be created by the controlling board to receive revenues not anticipated in an appropriations act for the biennium in which such new revenues are received. Subject to division (D) of this section, expenditures from such additional funds may be authorized by the controlling board, but such authorization shall not extend beyond the end of the biennium in which such funds are created.

(5) Controlling board authorization for a state agency to make an expenditure of federal revenue constitutes authority for the agency to participate in the federal program providing the revenue, and the agency is not required to obtain an executive order under section 107.17 of the Revised Code to participate in the federal program.

(1) No state agency may make expenditures of any of the revenue unless the expenditures are made pursuant to specific appropriations of the general assembly.

(2) If the revenue received into any fund is greater than the amount appropriated, the appropriation for that fund shall remain at the amount designated by the general assembly or, subject to division (D) of this section, as increased and approved by the controlling board.

(3) Additional funds may be created by the controlling board to receive revenues not anticipated in an appropriations act for the biennium in which such new revenues are received. Subject to division (D) of this section, expenditures from such additional funds may be authorized by the controlling board, but such authorization shall not extend beyond the end of the biennium in which such funds are created.
