(a) Applicability. For each fund or budget included in the aggregate operating budget, in the resolution adopted under Section 20-60(c)(1) the Council must adopt separate budget allocations for County government, the Board of Education, Montgomery College, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and for debt service and current revenue funding of capital projects.
(b) Expenditure Reductions. If a budget submitted to the County Council exceeds a budget allocation adopted under subsection (a), the County Executive (for the County government budget) and the governing board of the agency that prepared the budget must recommend by March 31:
(1) prioritized expenditure reductions that would be necessary to comply with the adopted budget allocation; and
(2) a summary of the effect on the agency’s program of the recommended prioritization.
(c) Added Information. If the Executive or an agency submits a proposed amendment to the operating budget to the Council after the Executive has submitted the annual budget, and the proposed amendment would cause the budget for County government or the agency to exceed the budget allocation adopted under subsection (a), the Executive or the respective agency must include with the amendment the information required in subsection (b).
