| Sec. 1. Money credited to State of Maine account in Unemployment Trust Fund under |
| Section 903(d) of Federal Social Security Act. Money credited to the account |
| of the State of Maine in the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund by |
| the United States Secretary of the Treasury on March 13, 2002 |
| pursuant to Section 903(d) of the Federal Social Security Act may |
| not be requisitioned from the State's account or used except for |
| the payment of benefits and for the payment of expenses incurred |
| for the administration of the State's unemployment compensation |
| law and public employment offices. Money used for the payment of |
| benefits is requisitioned as defined in the Maine Revised |
| Statutes, Title 26, section 1162. Money requisitioned and used |
| for the payment of expenses incurred for the administration of |
| the State's unemployment compensation law and public employment |
| offices requires a specific appropriation by the Legislature as |
| provided in section 2 of this Act. That use is only permissible |
| if the expenses are incurred and the money is requisitioned after |
| the effective date of a law making an appropriation law that |
| specifies the purposes for which the money is appropriated and |
| the amounts appropriated for those purposes. Any amount that may |
| be obligated under such an appropriation is limited to an amount |
| that does not exceed the amount by which the aggregate of the |
| amounts transferred to the account of the State of Maine pursuant |
| to Section 903(d) of the Federal Social Security Act exceeds the |
| aggregate of the amounts used by the State pursuant to this Act |
| and charged against the amounts transferred to the account of the |
| State of Maine. |
