funds appropriated in part 1 for legal support contracts to reduce federal
authorization by 66% of the escheated amount and increase general fund/general purpose

(2) The department shall notify the chairs of the house and senate
appropriations subcommittees on the department budget and the house and senate fiscal
agencies within 15 days of the authorization adjustment in subsection (1).
