The bill, introduced by Representative Stewart, 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 fiscal year 2026, with slight increases for the following 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 for the Industrial Commission in the William Green Building are to be utilized specifically for that purpose. 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.
