      Sec. 4-84. Contingency appropriation. The budget as submitted by the Governor to the General Assembly shall include a recommended appropriation for contingencies not to exceed one hundred thousand dollars for each fiscal year of the ensuing biennium. Wherever an emergency exists and the Governor is of the opinion that the necessities of a budgeted agency warrant an increased appropriation or it is necessary to provide for emergency expenditures, he may approve such expenditures as he deems necessary and for the best interest of the public from such contingency appropriation, provided the total amount of individual allotments from such appropriation shall not exceed the total amount of the contingency appropriation as established by the General Assembly. Additions to specific appropriations for current expenses of any state court or for current expenses of state institutions or for maintenance of inmates therein or for the reimbursement of towns for relief, support and hospitalization furnished state paupers or for forest fire suppression shall not be considered as within the total appropriation for such contingencies. The Governor shall report to the General Assembly, not later than the first session day following the third day of February in each odd-numbered year, all increases made by him under authority of this section and the reasons therefor. In the even-numbered years, the Governor shall submit such report on the day on which the General Assembly first convenes.
