This bill outlines appropriations and expenditure limitations for various state agencies in Kansas for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2025, 2026, and 2027. It includes specific funding allocations for numerous state agencies, such as the Attorney General, Secretary of State, and various educational institutions, while also detailing conditions for expenditures related to official hospitality and special litigation reserve funds. The bill amends multiple sections of the Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) and repeals existing sections to ensure compliance with state financial regulations. Notably, it specifies that appropriations shall not be subject to certain provisions of K.S.A. 75-6702(a) and K.S.A. 46-155, and it allows for the transfer of funds between various accounts, ensuring flexibility in managing state resources.

Additionally, the bill establishes new funds, such as the national bio agro-defense facility fund and the Kansas sheltered workshop transition fund, while modifying existing laws related to tax increment financing and housing trust funds. It emphasizes the importance of reappropriating unencumbered balances from previous fiscal years and mandates that any federal grants received by state agencies during the fiscal year are appropriated for their intended purposes. The bill also includes provisions for capital improvement projects across various state agencies, allowing for the issuance of bonds for specific projects while ensuring that the debt service will not constitute a debt of the state of Kansas. Overall, the bill aims to enhance funding for essential services, support economic development initiatives, and ensure accountability in the management of state funds.
