20 year that became due to the State in the year before the

22 reimbursements associated with the recognition of Section 25
23 of the State Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
24 for which current year revenues are anticipated to exceed

26 resource available for expenditure in the budgeted fiscal
27 year.
28 Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
29 the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by
30 the State for the budgeted year, to be paid in the next

33 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
34 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
