Instead of introducing a whole new bill, the Finance Minister can make a determination like this to release funds immediately, provided they stay within the legal limits set by the Appropriation Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-determination-no-3-of-2012-2013","history":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-determination-no-3-of-2012-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-determination-no-3-of-2012-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-determination-no-3-of-2012-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-determination-no-3-of-2012-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-determination-no-3-of-2012-2013/documents"}}
