11as set forth in Section 50-25 of this Law, giving priority to
12agencies and programs that have demonstrated a focus on the
13prevention of waste and the maximum yield from resources.

15distribute written quarterly financial reports on operating
16funds, which may include general, State, or federal funds and

10associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State

23considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
24    Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
25between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
26incurred during the budget year.

14Assembly to be available during that year.

16report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the
17House of Representatives containing the following:

12budgets submitted by the Governor and appropriations made by
13the General Assembly for all executive branch State agencies
14must adhere to a method of budgeting where each priority must
15be justified each year according to merit rather than according
16to the amount appropriated for the preceding year.
