This bill proposes amendments to the appropriations for the Legislative Council, specifically allocating funds for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. It appropriates $680,000 from the General Fund for each of these fiscal years to support the council's operations, with a stipulation that total expenditures for salaries and per diems must not exceed $590,500 for FY2025-26 and $615,700 for FY2026-27. Additionally, the bill modifies the budget for the Office of Public Counsel, reducing the General Fund allocation and program total from $2,202,116 to $1,522,116 for both fiscal years, and adjusts the salary limits accordingly.

Furthermore, the bill reappropriates any unexpended General Fund balance as of June 30, 2025, and repeals the original section of the law pertaining to these appropriations. The bill is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
