GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 11250-11263

11250. Whenever a State agency supported from the General Fund
renders services or furnishes materials to a State agency not
supported from the General Fund, the cost of the services or
materials is a charge against the fund from which is derived the
support of the State agency receiving the services or materials.

11251. The Controller, after consulting with the Department of
Finance, may approve any general plan whereby any state agency which
is within a department and which is supported either by a special
fund or by a separate appropriation from the General Fund, may make
financial adjustments with the department of which it is a part and
with any other state agency within the department for services
rendered, supplies used, or for a proper proportion of other
expenses. A copy of the proposed plan shall be furnished to the
Department of Finance before approval by the Controller; and a copy
of the approved plan shall be furnished to the Department of Finance.

11252. Such adjustments shall be made in accordance with the
approved plan by filing a financial statement with the Controller,
and requesting the Controller to make the necessary transfers or
other entries upon his books. Upon receipt of such a request, the
Controller shall make such transfers or other entries.

11253. Upon written request approved by the Department of General
Services, a department shall furnish to another department such
assistance as it is able to render without detriment to its
administration, including the deputizing of agents and inspectors,
when consistent with law, and the temporary reassignment of
employees.
Any traveling or other expense incurred by an employee in the
performance of his duties while he is reassigned or loaned to another
department may be paid in accordance with law by the department to
which he is reassigned or loaned from funds available for support of
that department.

11255. The Controller may establish procedures whereby some or all
of the payments between funds and appropriations within a state
agency and between funds and appropriations of different state
agencies may be made by transfers upon his accounts in lieu of making
such payments by claims and warrants. Corresponding entries shall be
made on the accounts of the agency or agencies concerned.

11256. Subject to approval of the Director of General Services,
state agencies may furnish services, materials or equipment to, or
perform work for, other state agencies upon such terms and conditions
and for such considerations as they may determine and, subject to
such approval, may enter into agreements for such purpose. The state
agency furnishing or performing said work, services, materials or
equipment shall include in its charges therefor such direct and
indirect costs to the state in furnishing or performing said work,
services, materials or equipment as may be approved by the Director
of General Services, and such state agency shall compute said charges
in a manner approved by the Director of Finance.
The Director of General Services, upon such terms and conditions
as he may prescribe, may except from his approval, or grant blanket
approval for, the performance of any work, the furnishing of any
services, materials or equipment, the entering into of any
agreements, the computation of any charges, or the inclusion of any
costs provided for herein.

11257. State agencies may provide for the advancing of funds as
herein provided to defray the charges mentioned in Section 11256. Any
state agency may, and upon order of the Director of General Services
shall, authorize such advances from any fund or appropriation
available to it for payment for work, services, materials, or
equipment to the fund or appropriation of the state agency which is
to perform such work or render such services or furnish any materials
or equipment to it, an amount equal to the estimated charges
therefor or in an amount determined by the Director of General
Services, and the State Controller shall transfer any amounts so
authorized or determined.

11258. Any state agency which normally, as a part of its regular
operating functions, is engaged in the business of performing work
for, or furnishing services, materials or equipment to, other state
agencies shall, at its request, be furnished by such other state
agencies with a written estimate of the amount which such state
agencies expect to expend for such work, services, materials or
equipment during a period designated by the state agency requesting
said estimate, not exceeding one year. The State Controller from time
to time shall transfer the amount so estimated by each state agency,
or such portion thereof as he may determine; provided, that he shall
transfer any amount ordered by the Director of General Services on
the basis of such estimate or otherwise, from the fund or
appropriation from which payment is expected to be made for such
work, services, materials or equipment to the fund or appropriation
of the state agency which is to perform such work, or render such
services or furnish any materials or equipment.

11259. All money received by any state agency, other than the
Regents of the University of California, for charges for work,
services, materials or equipment shall be deposited in the State
Treasury and, except advances or transfers under Sections 11257 and
11258, credited by the State Controller to the fund or appropriation
from which the cost of such work, services, materials or equipment
was or will be paid.
All money received by the Regents of the University of California
under this article shall be added to the other funds provided for the
use of the University of California and used in the same manner.

11260. After work is performed, services are rendered, or materials
or equipment are furnished pursuant to advances or transfers made
under Sections 11257 and 11258, the Controller shall process
transfers from time to time as requested by the state agency that
performed the work. Any agency receiving an advance or transfer under
Section 11257 or 11258 shall remain fully accountable therefor to
the Controller who shall audit as provided in Section 12410.

11261. Amounts advanced or transferred in accordance with Sections
11257 and 11258 shall be available for expenditure for the same
period and purpose as the appropriation from which the advance or
transfer is made. All or any portion of the amounts so advanced or
transferred may be returned by transfer by the State Controller to
the fund or appropriation from which originally advanced or
transferred under Sections 11257 and 11258; provided, that upon final
determination of the charges made or to be made under this article
the unexpended balance of the amount advanced or transferred shall be
returned to said fund or appropriation.

11262. Whenever any payment heretofore or hereafter made by a state
agency for work, services, materials or equipment performed or
furnished under this article or any other law by another state agency
was erroneous, in excess of the amount that should have been paid or
was unearned, the State Controller shall, upon request of the state
agency which received such payment, refund such erroneous, excess or
unearned amount by transferring an amount equal thereto from the fund
or appropriation credited with the overpayment to the fund or
appropriation from which said payment was made.

11263. As used in this article, "state agency" or "state agencies"
includes the Department of General Services and any and all
organizational units, parts, and subdivisions of state agencies as
defined in Section 11000.
