The Substitute House Bill No. 5031 proposes deficiency appropriations from the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, totaling $220,010,000. This funding is allocated to various state departments, including $275,000 for the State Comptroller, $5,775,000 for the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, and $14,500,000 for the Department of Housing for Housing/Homeless Services. The bill also includes reductions in appropriations for several agencies, such as $1,000,000 from Legislative Management and $2,500,000 from the Department of Revenue Services, as specified in Section 1 of public act 25-168.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language, including the term "PUBLIC PROTECTION" in the Department of Emergency Services and the addition of "OPPORTUNITIES" in the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, while deleting outdated language. It authorizes a total of $228,435,000 in deficiency appropriations, which includes $8,425,000 from the Special Transportation Fund and de-appropriates $77,121,190 across various funds. The bill aims to ensure compliance with the spending cap, leaving a margin of $0.2 million under the cap for FY 26, and is effective upon passage.
