Budget section approval. 1. The emergency commission, upon the advice and counsel of the office of management and budget and approval by the budget section of the legislative management, may order a transfer of general fund, special funds, or federal funds appropriation authority from the state contingencies appropriation, which must be deducted from the state contingencies appropriation to the office of management and budget and added to the appropriate line item in the appropriation of the state officer approved for the transfer. 2. Any request considered by the budget section must comply with section 54 -35-02.9. The budget section, when considering requests under this section, may approve the request in the form received from the emergency commission or may amend and approve the request. A request amended and approved by the budget section is deemed to be approved by the emergency commission. 3. Approval by the budget section is not required if the transfer of appropriation authority is necessary to avoid an imminent threat to the safety of people or property due to a natural disaster or war crisis or an imminent financial loss to the state.
