For the application of 8° of article L. 2331-8, provisions do not give rise to the entry of appropriations in the investment section of the budget.
However, the municipal council may, by means of a specific resolution, decide to enter the provisions as revenue in the investment section of the budget by means of a budgetary transaction. In this case, the subsequent write-back of these provisions results in the entry of an expense in the investment section and an equivalent revenue in the operating section.
A municipal council that makes use of the power available to it by virtue of the second paragraph and then reverses this decision may not, during the same term of office, make use of the provisions of the said paragraph again.
However, in the event of a renewal of the municipal council, if the new council reverses the previous decision to make use of the second paragraph and does so no later than the end of the financial year following the renewal, it may thereafter decide to make use of the provisions of the said paragraph.
