This bill establishes a framework for continuing appropriations to state agencies in Minnesota if a funding bill for the upcoming biennium has not been enacted by July 1, 2025. Specifically, it appropriates sufficient funds to maintain the operations of these agencies through July 31, 2025, at either the base level determined by existing statutes or at a monthly rate based on total fiscal year 2025 appropriations. The bill also clarifies that the base level for appropriations designated as one-time is considered zero, and it defines "state agency" to include entities across the executive, judicial, and legislative branches.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that appropriations must not be reduced unless necessary to align expenditures with revenue, and this must occur after consultation with the Legislative Advisory Commission. The provisions outlined in the bill will take effect the day following its final enactment.
