This bill appropriates a total of $2,800,000 from the general fund to the fish and game fund, with specific allocations of $400,000 for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027, designated for continuing environmental review of threatened and endangered species. Additionally, it allocates $2,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to cover a deficit related to previously instituted salary increases. The appropriations are structured to ensure that they do not lapse, and the governor is authorized to draw warrants for these sums from the treasury.

The bill also includes a provision that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. The fiscal note indicates that while the appropriations will not impact state revenue or expenditures, they represent a transfer of funds from the general fund to the fish and game fund, thereby supporting the ongoing efforts of the fish and game department in environmental review and addressing salary deficits.
