Sec. 7. (a) The board may transfer money between state funds, and the board may transfer money between appropriations for any board, department, commission, office, or benevolent or penal institution of the state. After the transfer is made, the money of the fund or appropriation transferred is not available to the fund or the board, department, commission, office, or benevolent or penal institution from which it was transferred.

     (b) In addition to a transfer under subsection (a), the board may transfer money from an appropriation for any board, department, commission, office, or benevolent or penal institution of the state to the Indiana economic development corporation.

     (c) An order by the board to make a transfer under this section is sufficient authority for the making of appropriate entries showing the transfer on the books of the state comptroller and treasurer of state.

     (d) The authority given the board under this section to make transfers does not apply to trust funds. For the purposes of this section, “trust fund” means a fund which by the constitution or by statute has been designated as a trust fund or a fund which has been determined by the board to be a trust fund.

     (e) Whenever the board takes action to transfer money out of a dedicated fund that is attributable to fees credited to the fund, the budget agency shall notify the budget committee within thirty (30) days and state the reason for the transfer.

     (f) Within thirty (30) days after approving a transfer, the board shall post on the Indiana transparency website:

(1) a narrative description of each approved transfer under this section; and

(2) the reason for the transfer.
