§41-4-95. Appropriations wrongfully expended.

It shall be unlawful for any trustee, commissioner, director, manager, building committee or other officer or person connected with any department, institution, bureau, board, commission or other state agency to which an appropriation is made to expend any appropriation for any purpose other than that for which the money was appropriated, budgeted and allotted, or to consent thereto. If the Governor shall ascertain that any department, institution, bureau, board, commission or other state agency has used any of the moneys appropriated to it for any purpose other than that for which the money was appropriated, budgeted and allotted and not in strict accordance with the provisions of law, the Governor shall have the power and he is hereby authorized to suspend all appropriations and allotments to such department, institution, bureau, board, commission or other state agency until and after such amounts diverted or wrongfully expended have been replaced.
