Services may be used to offset Personal Services shortfalls in other Highway Fund 
accounts that occur as a direct result of Personal Services allocation reductions for 
projected vacancies; except that the transfer of such accrued savings is subject to review 
by the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations 
and financial affairs. 
Costs related to acting capacity appointments and emergency, 
unbudgeted overtime for which it is impractical to budget in advance may be used with 
the approval of the appointing authority. Other actions such as retroactive compensation 
for reclassifications or reallocations and retroactive or one-time settlements related to 
arbitrator or court decisions must be recommended by the department or agency head and 
approved by the State Budget Officer. Salary and employee benefits savings may not be 
used to fund recurring Personal Services actions either in the account where the savings 
exist or in another account. At the close of each fiscal year, except for the Division of
