(1) Program balances. At the close of each fiscal year the unencumbered balances of appropriations financed by unassigned revenues of the conservation fund under s. 20.370 shall revert to the respective accounts under s. 20.370 in the ratio that revenues were allotted from such accounts and, together with the anticipated respective unassigned revenues by programs in the succeeding year, shall constitute the source of moneys available for appropriation to the programs under s. 20.370 in the succeeding year.
(2) Revenues and appropriations. All moneys received pursuant to the operation of programs under s. 20.370 shall be credited to the program which generated them. Revenues which are assigned by law to a particular purpose shall be credited to and may be expended for that purpose. Unassigned revenue shall be credited to the general purpose segregated revenue of the proper program, but the expenditure from such revenue shall be limited to the appropriation of general purpose segregated revenue appearing in the schedule. Whenever the estimated unassigned revenues and available unassigned revenue appropriation balances are insufficient to cover the appropriations of general purpose segregated revenue under each program, the department shall so inform the department of administration and shall indicate the amounts which should be deducted from respective unassigned revenue appropriations to bring the appropriated amounts into agreement with the money available, and the department of administration shall adjust its records accordingly. Actual unassigned revenues in excess of estimated unassigned revenues appropriated may not be spent unless released by the joint committee on finance.
