The bill, introduced by Representative Stewart and co-sponsored by various representatives, aims to make appropriations for the Industrial Commission for the biennium starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027. It outlines specific funding allocations for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, including $48,801,400 for operating expenses, $1,158,000 for rent of the William Green Building, and $3,186,666 for Attorney General payments in the first year, with slight increases in the second year. The total appropriations amount to $53,146,066 for fiscal year 2026 and $54,296,699 for fiscal year 2027.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the appropriations for rent and operating expenses in the William Green Building are designated for the Industrial Commission's use. It also includes provisions that ensure the law's severability, meaning if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. Furthermore, the bill states that it is not subject to referendum and will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
