The estimate is approved, increased or decreased by the department and funds allotted therefor.

At the time a state agency submits an estimate to the department under subsection

of this section, the agency shall submit a copy of the estimate to the Legislative Fiscal Office. The department may not allot funds under subsection (1)(b) of this section until the agency submits a copy of the estimate to the Legislative Fiscal Office.
