5 All Departments, Totals -- The General Assembly requests that copies of all reports requested in other footnotes contained in this act be delivered to the Joint Budget Committee and the majority and minority leadership in each house of the General Assembly. Each principal department of the state shall produce its rules and regulations in an electronic format that is suitable for public access through electronic means.

It is the intent of the General Assembly that this be done within existing resources.

6 Department of Corrections, Management, Executive Director's Office Subprogram; Department of Human Services, Division of Youth Corrections, and Health and Rehabilitation Services, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division; Judicial Department, Probation and Related Services; and Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Justice -- It is the intent of the General Assembly that state criminal justice agencies involved in multi-agency programs requiring separate appropriations to each agency designate one lead agency to be responsible for submitting a comprehensive annual budget request for such programs to the Joint Budget Committee. Each agency must still submit its portion of such request with its own budget document.

7 Department of Corrections, Management, Jail Backlog Subprogram -- The Department is requested to modify the weekly and monthly jail back log reports to account for parole revocations and community corrections regressions.

12 Department of Corrections, Institutions, Medical Services Subprogram, Purchase of Inpatient Services From Other Medical Facilities; and Purchase of Outpatient Services From Other Medical Facilities -- It is the intent of the General Assembly that the Department be permitted to transfer funds between the inpatient and outpatient purchase of services line items so that it may manage the provision of such services to inmates without having to seek specific transfer authority from the General Assembly.
