This bill outlines a series of cash transfers from various state funds to the General Fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Specifically, it appropriates $45 million from the Strategic Initiatives Program Fund, $3 million from the Opportunity Scholarship Program Account, $33.745 million from the Permanent Building Fund, $15 million from the Water Pollution Control Fund, and $10 million from the In-Demand Careers Fund, all to be transferred as soon as practicable for the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Additionally, another $10 million is to be transferred from the In-Demand Careers Fund once awards have been reconciled on December 31, 2026.
The bill also declares an emergency, allowing Sections 1 through 5 to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, while Section 6 will take effect on July 1, 2026. This legislative action aims to bolster the General Fund by reallocating resources from specific programs, thereby addressing immediate fiscal needs.
