The "General Appropriation Act of 2025" outlines the budgetary allocations for various state agencies for the fiscal year 2026. It defines key terms such as "agency," "efficiency," "federal funds," and "performance measure," which are essential for understanding the appropriations process. The act specifies that amounts appropriated are expressed in thousands of dollars and details the sources of funding, including the general fund, other state funds, internal service funds, and federal funds. It also establishes that unexpended balances in agency accounts at the end of fiscal year 2025 will revert to the general fund unless otherwise indicated.

The act includes specific appropriations for various sectors, such as legislative, judicial, health, public safety, and education, with detailed funding amounts for each. For instance, it allocates $3.24 billion from the general fund for health and human services and $4.49 billion for public school support. Additionally, it mandates the Department of Finance and Administration to monitor revenue and adjust agency budgets accordingly if projections are not met. The act also includes provisions for fund transfers related to the tobacco settlement program to ensure full funding for appropriations made from that fund.
