ANNOTATIONS

Council to submit budget to budget division. — The legislature has approved a special source for the council's funds, separate and apart from the state's general funds, and has established the council's method of disbursal. The council nevertheless must submit its budget to the budget division for approval. This provision insures that the legislature is apprised accurately of council expenditures even though separate action on the council budget is not required at each session. 1987 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 87-44.
