    Sec. 13.2. Transfers among line item appropriations.
    (a) Transfers among line item appropriations from the same

    (a-3) Further, if an agency receives a separate
appropriation for employee retirement contributions paid by
the employer, any transfer by that agency into an appropriation
for personal services must be accompanied by a corresponding
transfer into the appropriation for employee retirement
contributions paid by the employer, in an amount sufficient to
meet the employer share of the employee contributions required
to be remitted to the retirement system.

under subsection (c), the following agencies have the specific

Notwithstanding subsections (a), (a-2), and (c), for State
fiscal year 2005 only, transfers may be made among any line
item appropriations from the same or any other treasury fund
