This bill appropriates funds from the general fund of the state treasury to the office of the governor for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The total appropriation amounts to $5,266,996, which includes specific allocations for salaries and wages, the governor's salary, operating expenses, contingencies, and Rough Rider awards. Notably, the bill introduces a new category labeled "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" and specifies an allocation of $10,800 for Rough Rider awards.
Additionally, the bill allows for the appropriation of any additional income from other funds, excluding federal funds, that may become available to the governor's office during the same biennium. It mandates that the governor's office report to the budget section on the source, amount, and purpose of these additional funds. Furthermore, while the governor's office may accept federal funds, these funds cannot be spent without prior authorization from the legislative assembly or the emergency commission and budget section.
