The Legislative Assembly further finds that it is in the public interest to establish a program to reward efficiency and effectiveness in government agencies and programs.

����� (2) As used in ORS 182.365 to 182.400:

Expenditures from the fund are not subject to allotment or other budgetary procedures.

����� (4) None of the expenditures in a biennium by the agency or unit under this section shall be considered to be within any appropriation or expenditure limitation in the agency�s base budget for the biennium.
