* Sec. 10.  LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.  The money appropriated by this                                 
Act may be expended only in accordance with the purpose of the                                      
appropriation under which the expenditure is authorized.  Money                                     
appropriated by this Act may not be expended for or transferred to a                                
purpose other than the purpose for which the appropriation is made unless

Legislative Council v. Knowles, 21 P.3d 367 (Alaska 2001).  All                                     
appropriations made by this Act are subject to AS 37.07.080(e).  A                                  
payment or authorization of a payment not authorized by this Act may be                             
a violation of AS 37.10.030 and may result in action under AS 37.10.030                             
to make good to the state the amount of an illegal, improper, or incorrect                          
payment that does not represent a legal obligation under the appropriation                          
involved.

* Sec. 10.  LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS.  (a)  It is the                                      
intent of the legislature that the amounts appropriated by this Act are the                         
full amounts that will be appropriated for those purposes for the fiscal                            
year ending June 30, 2003.                                                                          
(b)  The money appropriated by this Act may be expended only in                                     
accordance with the purpose of the appropriation under which the
