Summary
An Act to appropriate certain sums of money out of the Cook Islands Government Account to the services of the year ending on the thirtieth day of June 2017 and to appropriate the supplies granted in this period
MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN: We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Parliament of the Cook Islands, towards making good the supply which we have cheerfully granted to Your Majesty in this year, have resolved to grant Your Majesty the sum specified in this Act and humbly ask Your Majesty to assent to the sum. And be it enacted by the Parliament of the Cook Islands in Session assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
This Act is the Appropriation Act 2016.
This Act applies to the year ending on the thirtieth day of June 2017 (“the year”).
(1) The Minister responsible for Finance may authorise the incurrence of expenses or expenditure and may issue and apply out of the Cook Islands Government Account, towards making good the supplies granted to Her Majesty for the services of the year, any sums which in total do not exceed the sum of $238,280,290.
(2) Subject to subsection (3) the sums authorised to be supplied are appropriated for the services set out in the votes specified in the Schedules to this Act.
(3) The votes identified in Schedule 4 to this Act as being funded through loans from financing partners or from grants by development partners are further limited to the lesser of the votes specified in those Schedules and the loan proceeds or grants received for the purpose of financing the expense or expenditure in relation to those votes.
(4) Notwithstanding section 37 of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Management Act 1995-96, the appropriations made under this Act will lapse on 30 June 2017.
(5) Payments that may be charged against any appropriation made by this Act after 30 June 2017 are limited to—
- (a) self balancing journal entries to correct posting errors during the year ended 30 June 2017; or
- (b) expenses incurred or payments due during the year ended 30 June 2017 for which a valid invoice was submitted before 30 June 2017, but for which a payment or payments to extinguish that liability in relation to that invoice had not been made by 30 June 2017.
(6) The appropriations made in the Appropriation Act 2015 will lapse on 30 June 2016.
(7) Payments that may be charged after 30 June 2016 against any appropriation that lapses under the provisions of subsection (6) are limited to—
- (a) self balancing journal entries to correct posting errors during the year ended 30 June 2016; or
- (b) expenses incurred or payments due during the year ended 30 June 2016 for which a valid invoice was submitted before 30 June 2016, but for which a payment or payments to extinguish the liability in relation to that invoice had not been made by 30 June 2016.
(8) Where in the period ended 30 June 2016, the Financial Secretary appointed under section 4 of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Management Act 1995-96 had directed that an unexpended appropriation from an Appropriation Act for a previous year be available for expenditure in the year ended 30 June 2016, those appropriations will also lapse on 30 June 2016.
(9) Payments that may be charged after 30 June 2016 against any appropriation that lapses under the provisions of subsection (8) are limited to—
- (a) self balancing journal entries to correct posting errors during the year ended 30 June 2016; or
- (b) expenses incurred or payments due during the year ended 30 June 2016 for which a valid invoice was submitted before 30 June 2016, but for which a payment or payments to extinguish the liability in relation to that invoice had not been made by 30 June 2016.
