appropriations made by it, or the total of any budget approved by it, for any
department or establishment, shall be deemed to be the maximum amount
authorized to meet the requirements of the department or establishment for the
period of the appropriation, excepting as may otherwise be provided by law, and
that the governor and the director of finance should be given the powers
granted by sections 37-32 to 37-41 in order that savings may be effected by
careful supervision throughout each appropriation period with due regard to
changing conditions; and by promoting more economic and efficient management of
state departments and establishments. [L Sp 1959 1st, c 12, pt of §3; am L Sp
