20          7.1.    (VR: Production Contracts Revenue)  All revenues derived from production contracts earned by the handicapped trainees of the
21     Evaluation and Training Facilities (Workshops) may be retained by the State Agency of Vocational Rehabilitation and used in the facilities
22     for Client Wages and any other production costs; and further, any excess funds derived from these production contracts be used for other
23     operating expenses and/or permanent improvements of these facilities.
24          7.2.    (VR: Reallotment Funds)  To maximize utilization of federal funding and prevent the loss of such funding to other states in the
25     Basic Service Program, the State Agency of Vocational Rehabilitation be allowed to budget reallotment and other funds received in excess
26     of original projections in following State fiscal years.
27          7.3.    (VR: Basic Support Program Reconciliation)  The General Assembly hereby directs the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation
28     to complete a reconciliation of the cost to operate the Basic Support program related to the combination of State and Federal funds
29     available following the close of each Federal fiscal year.  Such reconciliation shall begin with the Federal fiscal year ending September 30,
30     1989.  Federal funds participation for that period shall be applied at the maximum allowable percentage and the level of those funds on
31     hand which have resulted from the over participation of State funds shall be remitted to the General Fund within 120 days following the
32     close of the Federal fiscal year.  This reconciliation and subsequent remission to the General Fund shall be reviewed by the State Auditor to
33     ensure that appropriate Federal/State percentages are applied.  It is the intent of the General Assembly that Federal/State percentages
34     budgeted and appropriated shall in no way be construed as authorization for the Department to retain the Federal funds involved.
