This document authorises that transfer.\n\n**What it does:**\n*   **Transfers:** $694,175\n*   **From:** Australian Greenhouse Office\n*   **To:** Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator\n*   **Type of funds:** Non-lapsing appropriation (unspent money from previous years that hasn't expired)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis ensures that when the Renewable Energy Regulator took over functions from the Australian Greenhouse Office, it also received the budget to pay for them. The transfer is made under **section 32** of the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which gives the Finance Department power to shuffle appropriations between agencies when their roles change."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00868","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00868/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00868/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00868/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00868/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00868/documents"}}
