Ind. Code § 4-10-18-5 – Annual appropriation to and from general fund; certification of amount; transfer of funds

(a) As soon as the state comptroller makes a final determination of the amount of total state general fund revenues for a particular state fiscal year, the state comptroller shall certify that amount to the budget director.
(b) As soon as possible after receiving the certification from the state comptroller under subsection (a), the budget director shall determine the amount, if any, that is appropriated into or out of the fund under section 4 of this chapter. If an appropriation is made into the fund under section 4 of this chapter, the budget director shall immediately certify that amount to the treasurer of state. If an appropriation is made out of the fund under section 4 of this chapter, the budget director shall certify to the treasurer of state an amount equal to the part of the appropriation, if any, by which the general fund general operating budget, for the state fiscal year for which the appropriation is made, exceeds the budget director's estimate of the total general fund revenues for that same state fiscal year. The budget director shall make the certification or certifications of money to be transferred out of the fund at the time or times that the budget director determines the general fund general operating budget would exceed the total estimated state general fund revenues.
(c) Immediately upon receiving a certification from the budget director under subsection (b), the state comptroller and treasurer of state shall make the appropriate transfer into or out of the fund.
(d) Any amount, which is appropriated out of the fund under section 4 of this chapter, but which has not been transferred out of the fund under this section at the end of the state fiscal year for which the appropriation is made, shall revert to the fund.
