  In order to provide some degree of flexibility to meet emergencies arising during each fiscal year in the expenditures for operation and maintenance of the various departments, offices and agencies of state government, the commissioner of finance and administration, with the approval of the governor, may require the head of each department, office, or agency, in making the original allotments, to set aside a reserve, the exact amount of which shall be determined by the commissioner of finance and administration, of the total amount appropriated to the department, office, or agency.

If, upon such reexamination of the work program, the commissioner, with the approval of the governor, decides to grant the request for the revision of the allotments, the same procedure, so far as it relates to review, approval, and control, shall be followed as in the making of the original allotments.   Revisions to the work programs of the secretary of state, comptroller of the treasury, and state treasurer shall be approved by the commissioner of finance and administration if submitted in accordance with the appropriations act, if within the amounts appropriated, and if submitted with the concurrence of the speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives.
