When an appropriation is made available for a fixed period of time or until a specified date, the general rule is that the availability relates to the authority to obligate the appropriation
- Annual, multiple year or no-year appropriations
- “Bona Fide Needs Rule” states that an appropriation may be obligated only to meet a legitimate, or bona fide, need arising in (or in some cases prior to but continuing to exist in), the fiscal year for which the appropriation was made.
