Any additional monies which may be received by means of a grant or grants from the United States of America or any agency or department thereof, or from any other source to aid in financing the cost of any of the improvements herein referred to may be placed by the State Treasurer in the same fund or in a separate fund and, to the extent permitted by terms of such grant or grants, with the approval of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission, shall be disbursed in the same manner and for the same purposes mentioned in this Act, and only as detailed in Vol. III of the 1969-71 Budget.

Sec. 7. The Director of the Budget is authorized and empowered to make transfers and changes from completed projects for which appropriations are made in this Act, within the amounts of appropriations made to each separately named department, agency, or institution, to provide changes as necessary to permit completion of the projects as described in this appropriation and only as detailed in Vol. III of the Budget. Funds may not be transferred from the appropriations herein made to projects authorized by previous or future North Carolina General Assemblies.
Sec. 8. The Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission are authorized and empowered to delete any CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT project or projects as provided in this Act and substitute therefor any other CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT project or projects which on the request of the department, agency or institution, and in the opinion of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission, shall be deemed to be in the best interest of the State. Such substituted projects shall take precedence over projects enumerated in this Act within the limit of funds provided to the requesting department, agency, or institution in this appropriation.
Sec. 9. The Advisory Budget Commission may, when in its opinion it is in the best interest of the State to do so, and upon the request of the department, institution, or agency, authorize the increase or decrease in size and scope of any project or projects enumerated in this Act within the funds provided in this appropriation to that department, agency or institution.
Sec. 10. It shall be incumbent upon each agency, department or institution enumerated in this Act to apply for Federal Aid to participate in the construction of each project appropriated for in this Act and to the extent to which projects may be eligible for such Federal aid. Participating Federal funds shall not be used for the purpose of enlarging any project enumerated in this Act beyond the physical or functional scope provided for in this Act and as detailed in Volume III of the Budget but shall replace State funds in the same amount as such Federal aid. The State funds so replaced by Federal funds shall be placed into a special Capital Construction Reserve Fund which fund shall be used at the discretion of the Governor and Advisory Budget Commission for the purpose of providing funds to construct additional facilities which in the opinion of the Governor and Advisory Budget Commission are considered essential subject to availability of funds. Projects so selected by the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission for construction from the special Capital Construction Reserve Fund shall be as detailed in Volume III of the Budget. In order that the Capital Construction Reserve Fund be used to its fullest benefit to the State, the Advisory Budget Commission, and the Department of Administration, and its pertinent division, shall be furnished in advance with copies of all requests for Federal funds, and this information furnished shall be kept current. Application for use of funds from the special Capital Construction Reserve Fund for additional projects will not be considered until and unless sufficient funds to cover full cost of design, construction, and equipment exist within the special Capital Construction Reserve Fund. Applications in anticipation of these funds will not be considered.
Sec. 11. There is provided in Section 4 of this Act the sum of one million eight hundred twenty-five thousand dollars (1,825,000.00) appropriated to the Department of Administration for the purpose of providing certain air conditioning and renovation for the four (4) units of the Sanatorium System. These funds shall be allocated and expended as determined by the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission for the purposes intended and based upon the ultimate use of these facilities.
Sec. 12. The construction, equipping and furnishing of a new State Art Museum Building, together with the acquisition of a site for the same, is hereby authorized. The appropriation for said purposes of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) is also hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1142 of the Session Laws of 1967, as amended. There is appropriated the sum of three million dollars (3,000,000) as set forth in Section 4 of this Act to the Department of Administration to be used with funds received from other sources for the construction of said new Museum of Art Building herein authorized. It is the intent of the General Assembly of North Carolina that this appropriation of three million dollars (3,000,000) shall be reserved and used with funds received from private gifts and grants and from other non‑state funds made available by individuals, corporations, foundations and others to provide for the design, construction, furnishing, and all related costs in constructing, equipping and furnishing an Art Museum Building and acquiring a site therefor as authorized by said Chapter 1142 of the Session Laws of 1967, to be used as requested by the State Art Museum Building Commission and shall be subject to the approval of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission. The provisions of this Act relative to reversion shall not be applicable to this appropriation.
Sec. 13. There is provided in Section 4 of this Act the sum of ten million eighty-one thousand nine hundred twenty one dollars (10,081,921.00) appropriated to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the purpose of providing the State's share of the total cost to construct and equip a Preclinical Education Facility, a Clinical Science Facility and a Bed Tower Addition to Memorial Hospital, each of these facilities being appropriated as detailed in Section 4 of this Act. The funds so appropriated shall be contingent upon matching funds indicated to be provided by the Federal Government for each of these three projects. In the event that Federal funds are not forthcoming, then the funds appropriated in this Act for either or all of the three enumerated projects not receiving Federal support as indicated in Section 4 of this Act shall revert to the General Fund, and shall not be used for any other purpose.
Sec. 14. Subject to any transfers and changes between appropriations as permitted in Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Act, the appropriations for CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT made in this Act shall be expended only for specific projects set out in this Act. Construction of all CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT projects enumerated in this Act shall be commenced on or before December 31. 1970; if construction on such project or projects has not been commenced on or before December 31, 1970, then the appropriation for such project or projects shall revert to the original source and no transfer to other projects shall be allowed; provided, however, that subject to the approval of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission this deadline may be extended when such action is justified in the opinion of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission by existing circumstances and conditions.
Sec. 15. Any unencumbered balances remaining in the CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT funds of 1967 appropriated for construction and equipment shall revert to the original source on December 31, 1969; provided, that the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission may grant further extension for specific projects in such cases wherein a real emergency exists.
Sec. 16. The several departments, institutions, and agencies of the State are fully authorized and empowered to make application or applications to any agency or agencies of the United States of America for grant-in-aid for the construction of the several projects mentioned in this Act and within the scope and intent of the projects enumerated in this Act and to expend the same in accordance with the terms of such grants which are not contrary to the laws of this State.
