The total other funds appropriated have been adjusted from $114,599,190 to $114,864,690. Additionally, the bill specifies one-time funding items totaling $7,550,200 for various projects, including IT projects and repairs to the Baukol-Noonan dam.

Furthermore, the bill establishes limitations on the spending of funds in the new and vacant FTE pool, allowing the Game and Fish Department to request transfers to salaries and wages and other related line items. It also permits the department to enter into midterm conservation agreements with private landowners, with a maximum term of thirty years and buyback provisions at specified intervals. Lastly, the bill provides an exemption allowing the director of the office of management and budget to transfer up to $2,000,000 between certain line items as needed during the biennium, with a requirement to notify the legislative council of any such transfers.
