In order to plan for the expenditure of capital investments necessary to provide goods and services to the state and its agencies and to local public bodies and other enterprise customers, the general services department shall establish and maintain a five-year equipment replacement plan for each of the department's enterprise functions. No later than December 1 of each year, the plans shall be submitted to the department of finance and administration and to the legislature, along with a reconciliation report reflecting financial activity in the preceding fiscal year in each of the equipment replacement revolving funds established pursuant to this section.
B. Upon the request of the secretary of general services, the state treasurer shall establish such "equipment replacement revolving funds" in the state treasury as are necessary to administer each of the general services department's enterprise functions. The funds shall consist of legislative appropriations to the funds and transfers made to the funds pursuant to Subsections C and D of this section. Income from investment of the funds shall be credited to the funds, and money in the funds shall not revert at the end of a fiscal year. Expenditures from the funds shall be made only pursuant to an appropriation from the legislature and only for the purpose of acquiring and replacing capital equipment used to provide enterprise services, pursuant to the five-year equipment replacement plans.
C. The general services department shall record amounts due to the equipment replacement revolving funds each calendar quarter, based on the calculation of depreciation applicable to each enterprise as reflected in the department's published cost structures for calculation of rates for services. Transfers to the funds shall be made from the operating funds of each enterprise in amounts that reconcile with the recorded amounts due.
D. The general services department may make initial transfers from its operating funds to establish the beginning fund balances as of July 1, 2009. The transfers shall be based on amounts so designated in the audited financial statements of the department as of June 30, 2009.
