CA Gov't Code Section 16354

There is hereby appropriated from the State Construction Program Fund, without regard to fiscal years, any amounts transferred to this appropriation in accordance with the provisions of Section 16353, and such amounts may be expended for acquisition of real property or for construction and equipment of state public works projects for which an appropriation has been made from the State Construction Program Fund. Expenditures shall be made pursuant to allocations made by the Director of Finance upon approval of the State Public Works Board.

Allocations may be made for expenditure upon any state public works project in augmentation of appropriations made from the State Construction Program Fund, where such project cannot be undertaken because the estimate exceeds the amount available for such construction or bids received are in excess of the estimate, and upon such augmentation, contracts may be awarded therefor, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14275 or of Section 25235 of the Education Code.

Allocations may be made for acquisition of real property in augmentation of appropriations made from the State Construction Program Fund for acquisition of real property and which cannot be acquired because acquisition costs are in excess of the amounts provided in the appropriation.

Allocations may be made for purchase of equipment in augmentation of appropriations made from the State Construction Program Fund from which purchase of equipment is authorized.

Allocations made pursuant to this section shall be included in the total amount of annual Budget Act appropriations in the same manner and with the same effect as if such allocations had been included in a section of the annual Budget Act as provided in the State Construction Program Bond Act of 1958 (Statutes of 1958, First Extraordinary Session Chapter 88).
