Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 4-28 , 4-30a , 16a-4a and 16a-14 , on July 1, 1987, and every six months thereafter, the Governor shall submit to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to energy planning and activities his recommended allocations of any funds resulting from any settlement resolving oil pricing and allocation regulatory violations under the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act, as amended, except that if such funds
(1)amount to less than one hundred thousand dollars in any six-month period, or
(2)are received within sixty days prior to the end of any such six-month period, the recommended allocation of such funds may be submitted at the end of the next six-month period. Not later than sixty calendar days after receipt of the Governor's recommended allocations, such committee, in concurrence with the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to appropriations and the budgets of state agencies, shall advise the Governor of their approval or modifications, if any, of the recommended allocations. If the joint standing committees do not concur, the committee chairmen shall appoint a committee on conference which shall be comprised of three members from each such joint standing committee. At least one member appointed from each such joint standing committee shall be a member of the minority party. The report of the committee on conference shall be made to each such joint standing committee, which shall vote to accept or reject the report. The report of the committee on conference may not be amended. If a joint standing committee rejects the report of the committee on conference, the Governor's recommended allocations shall be deemed approved. If the joint standing committees accept the report, the committee having cognizance of matters relating to appropriations and the budgets of state agencies shall advise the Governor of the joint standing committees' approval or modifications, if any, of the Governor's recommended allocations, provided if the joint standing committees do not act within sixty calendar days, the recommendations shall be deemed approved. Disbursement of such funds shall be in accordance with the Governor's recommendations as approved or modified by the committees. After such recommended allocations have been so approved or modified, any proposed transfer to or from any specific allocation of a sum or sums of more than twenty-five thousand dollars or five per cent of any such specific allocation, whichever is less, shall be submitted by the Governor to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to energy planning and activities and approved, modified or rejected by the committees in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. The Governor shall submit a notice of any other transfer to or from any specific allocation to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to appropriations and the budgets of state agencies, through the Office of Fiscal Analysis, and to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to energy planning and activities.
