No appointing authority, except those in the legislative and judicial departments, may increase the pay or pay grade of a position by reclassification or any other means without the approval of the division of human resources for pay grade level and without the approval of the division of financial management for sufficiency of spending authority of the appointing authority to meet the proposed change. Appointing authorities in preparation of budget requests shall include exact position control numbers in justification of salaries and other compensation and must assign position control numbers to proposed new positions prior to budget submission. A list of additions, deletions and changes during the first six (6) months of the current fiscal year and projections for the second six (6) months of the current fiscal year of the positions so controlled shall be furnished by the department to the legislature and to the governor on January 1.
