§ 70-5-160. Interaccount and interfund transfers.

The chief executive officer, or designee, as authorized by the governing body, may transfer any unexpended and unencumbered appropriation or any portion thereof from one account to another within the same fund; except that no appropriation for debt service or other appropriation required by law or regulation may be reduced below the minimums required.  Other interfund transfers may be made only as authorized by this act or as provided in the budget as adopted or amended according to this act.  Whenever the necessity for maintaining any special fund of a school district has ceased to exist and a balance remains in the fund, the governing body may authorize the transfer of the balance to the general fund.  Applicable law shall govern the use or transfer of any remaining balance in any debt service or bond fund.
