Under the **Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997**, the Finance Department has directed that **$24 million** be moved from the **Department of the Parliamentary Reporting Staff** to the **Department of Parliamentary Services**.\n\n**Why is this happening?**\nWhen government functions get moved from one department to another (called a \"machinery of government change\"), the money attached to those functions needs to move too. This direction makes sure the Department of Parliamentary Services has the budget it needs to perform the work it just inherited.\n\n**The details:**\n- **Source:** Department of the Parliamentary Reporting Staff (losing the functions)\n- **Destination:** Department of Parliamentary Services (taking over the functions)\n- **Amount:** $24,000,000\n- **Budget year:** 2003-2004\n- **Legal basis:** Section 32 of the FMA Act, which allows the Finance Department to shift appropriations when agency functions change"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00866","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00866/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00866/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00866/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00866/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00866/documents"}}
