This bill appropriates funds for the salaries and benefits of various state officers in Nebraska for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. It specifies the amounts allocated for different programs, including salaries for Supreme Court judges, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and other state officials. The bill also establishes definitions for the appropriation periods and outlines the process for drawing and paying warrants from the state treasury. Additionally, it includes provisions for limitations on salaries, wages, and per diems, ensuring that total expenditures do not exceed the amounts provided by law for constitutional officers.

The bill reappropriates unexpended General Fund balances from the previous fiscal years and allows for administrative transfers among various programs within the Nebraska Supreme Court to ensure efficient court operations. It also emphasizes that any increases in appropriations or salary limits must be requested through the legislative process, preventing administrative increases without legislative approval. The act is set to become operative on July 1, 2025, but due to an emergency declaration, it takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
