The intent was to allow non-committee (eg, Senate) money to be
reallocated as well, though that may not have been reflected very well...
"may reallocate funds from a committee" should probably become / have
been "may reallocate funds from one part of the UA budget"
and "That such reallocations must be approved by the committee chair
losing said funds; and" should probably be "That such reallocations must
be approved by the committee chair or other officer in charge of the
budget area losing said funds; and"
If Paul doesn't object, I can make that change now, or I can wait until
Monday and officially propose an amendment.
