(2) Adding a provision requiring the Department of Education to submit a report to the Director of Finance ninety days after the close of each fiscal year, identifying the total amount of funds in each account that will carry over to the next fiscal year, and a copy of this same report to the legislature at least twenty days prior to the convening of the next regular session of the legislature;
(3) Adding a provision clarifying that the report to be submitted by each school principal through the Superintendent of Education to the Department of Accounting and General Services for each account shall be in the form prescribed by the comptroller; and
(4) Increasing the appropriation from $1 to $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2001-2002 and 2002-2003, and making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B.
