This bill appropriates funds for the State Board of Election Commissioners for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. It establishes a maximum number of regular employees, totaling nine, with specified positions and salary grades, including the SBEC Director and various attorney and administrative roles. Additionally, it authorizes up to twenty part-time or temporary employees, known as "Extra Help." The total amount appropriated for personal services and operating expenses is $1,103,617, with further appropriations for election expenses amounting to $6,340,000 from the Miscellaneous Agencies Fund Account and $1,600,000 from the Nonpartisan Filing Fee Fund.

The bill also includes provisions for the carry forward of unexpended balances for election expenses, allowing funds to be transferred for the following fiscal year under certain conditions. It specifies that if funds are insufficient for the Board's operations, the Director may certify the needed amount for transfer from the Nonpartisan Filing Fee Fund. The bill emphasizes compliance with existing fiscal control laws and includes an emergency clause to ensure its effectiveness starting July 1, 2025, to prevent disruption in the Board's operations.
