This bill appropriates funds for the state treasurer's expenses for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It includes a total appropriation of $3,510,939, which encompasses salaries, operating expenses, coal severance payments, and new funding for carbon dioxide pipeline payments. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" and allocates $295,000 from the strategic investment and improvements fund specifically for information technology projects. Additionally, it establishes a new and vacant full-time equivalent (FTE) pool, with restrictions on spending from this pool unless funds are transferred to the salaries and wages line item.

The bill also amends the salary of the state treasurer, increasing it to $139,256 through June 30, 2026, and to $143,434 thereafter. This change reflects an adjustment from previous salary figures, which were lower. The bill is declared an emergency measure, particularly concerning the one-time funding for information technology projects, emphasizing the urgency of these appropriations.
