The bill appropriates a total of $2 from the General Fund, specifically $1 for fiscal year 2025-26 and $1 for fiscal year 2026-27, to the Department of Economic Development for Program 604. This funding is intended to support the operations of the Legislature during its First Session in 2025. Additionally, the bill stipulates that total expenditures for permanent and temporary salaries and per diems from these appropriated funds shall not exceed $1 for each fiscal year.
Furthermore, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency underscores the necessity of the appropriations to ensure the smooth functioning of the legislative process in the upcoming sessions.
