The bill establishes a framework for a continuous state budget that remains in effect until the legislature amends, lapses, or eliminates existing appropriations. It stipulates that if no changes are made by July 1 of any year, appropriations from the previous fiscal year will automatically carry over into the new fiscal year. Additionally, it allows the Department of Administration to adjust appropriation account structures for state agencies if the biennial budget has not been enacted by June 30. The bill also outlines conditions under which continuing appropriations can be lapsed or reduced, particularly in response to changes in federal funding, and emphasizes the need for consultation with relevant state officials before such actions are taken.

Furthermore, the bill introduces temporary reallocations of funds, allowing the Secretary of Administration to make funds available for other state activities when there are insufficient moneys in the original accounts, subject to certain limits and conditions. Specifically, it caps temporary reallocations to $400 million for accounts other than the state general fund and sets a limit of 9% of the total authorized expenditures for reallocations to the state general fund. The bill also mandates monthly reporting on any outstanding or proposed reallocations to ensure transparency. Lastly, it repeals a specific section of a previous Senate bill effective July 1, 2030, and asserts that the provisions of this act will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register.
