Financial Management Act 1996

This section applies if—

in a financial year, the Treasurer authorises a Treasurer’s advance for a payment; and

the authorisation states that the payment may be provided for in an Appropriation Act other than the first Appropriation Act (a supplementary appropriation Act) in the financial year.

If a supplementary appropriation Act is passed for the payment—

the Treasurer’s advance ceases; and

the amount of the Treasurer’s advance is taken for all purposes to have been paid out of money appropriated by that Act; and

the amount appropriated for section 18 (Treasurer’s advance) for the financial year is taken to be restored by the amount of the Treasurer’s advance.

If a supplementary appropriation Act is not passed for the payment, the payment continues to be authorised from the appropriation for section 18 for the financial year.
