OK HB2448

Appropriates funds to the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs from the General Revenue Fund for fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, with specific dollar amounts to be determined for operations across five budgetary categories (Central Administration, Nursing Facilities, Claims and Benefits, Capital Lease, and State Accrediting Agency).

Establishes budgetary limitations for the department including full-time-equivalent employee count (0.0) and lease-purchase agreement limits ($0.00) for FY-11.

Authorizes flexible budget authority allowing appropriations to be budgeted for either FY-11 or FY-12, with FY-11 funds encumbered through June 30, 2011 and expended by November 15, 2011, while unobligated funds may be rebudgeted to FY-12 after approval of revised budget work programs.

Sets the Director's salary cap at an unspecified amount (not to exceed blank dollars) payable monthly, with other employee compensation and duties determined by the Director as needed.

Declares an emergency effective July 1, 2010, requiring immediate implementation for preservation of public peace, health, and safety.
