This bill outlines the appropriations for various state government departments in Iowa for the fiscal year 2026-2027, detailing specific funding allocations for entities such as the Department of Administrative Services, the Auditor of State, and the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board. Notable appropriations include $3,602,306 for the Department of Administrative Services and $1,002,686 for the Auditor of State. The bill also stipulates that unencumbered or unobligated funds for utility costs and certain other appropriations shall not revert at the end of the fiscal year, allowing them to remain available for future use. Additionally, it requires the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing to report on fraud in public assistance programs and ensures that certain appropriations are protected from reallocation.

Furthermore, the bill makes significant changes to existing funds by eliminating the consumer fireworks fee fund and the electrical or mechanical amusement devices special fund, redirecting those resources into the licensing and regulation fund. It also modifies the handling of revenues from professional boxing events, mandating that these funds be deposited into the licensing and regulation fund instead of being allocated for grants to promote amateur boxing. Additionally, all nonexamination revenues related to insurance regulation will now be deposited in the commerce revolving fund, streamlining financial management within the state.
