Okla. Stat. tit. 62, § 62-34.52: Requests for budget category transfer

A. The administrative head of any agency or the request officer

may request that any current item of appropriation, allotment, or

budget category be transferred to any other budget category within

the same agency.

B. The administrative head shall make a request for budget

transfer to the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services in writing and file a revised agency budget.

C. Copies of the request for budget transfer and corresponding

agency budget revisions shall also be filed with the Joint

Legislative Committee on Budget and Program Oversight as created by

Section 34.96 of this title.

D. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services shall approve the request for transfer unless both the

Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Budget

and Program Oversight provide written notification to the Director

of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services within twelve

(12) calendar days of receipt of transfer request that the transfer

subverts the intention and objectives of the Legislature in

establishing the original appropriation, or unless the transfer does

not meet the requirements of this section or Section 34.49 of this

title. Notification of noncompliance with legislative intent shall

be transmitted to the Director of the Office of Management and

Enterprise Services within twelve (12) calendar days of receipt of

the transfer request. The Director of the Office of Management and

Enterprise Services shall give written notice of approval or

disapproval of each budget transfer to the agency, the Governor and

the Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on

Budget and Program Oversight within eighteen (18) calendar days of

receiving the request.

E. Transfers shall be subject to the following limitations:

1. The amount to be transferred, together with all previous

transfers, shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total

appropriation of the least of the items of appropriation, allotment

or agency budget involved in the transfer; and

2. If the amount to be transferred, and all previous transfers,

is greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the least items of

appropriation, allotment or agency budget involved in the transfer

request, the agency may make an application to the Director of the

Office of Management and Enterprise Services, and the Chair and Vice

Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Budget and Program

Oversight. If the agency obtains written approval from the Director

of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the Chair

and Vice Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee Budget and Program

Oversight, an additional fifteen percent (15%) may be transferred.
