15 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) A capital budget is hereby adopted
16 and, subject to the provisions set forth in this act, the several
17 dollar amounts hereinafter specified, or so much thereof as shall be
18 sufficient to accomplish the purposes designated, are hereby
19 appropriated and authorized to be incurred for capital projects
20 during the period beginning with the effective date of this act and
21 ending June 30, 2025, out of the several funds specified in this act.
p. 1 SHB 1147
 1 (2) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this act
2 unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
3 (a) "Fiscal year 2024" or "FY 2024" means the period beginning
4 July 1, 2023, and ending June 30, 2024.
5 (b) "Fiscal year 2025" or "FY 2025" means the period beginning
6 July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025.
7 (c) "Lapse" or "revert" means the amount shall return to an
8 unappropriated status.
9 (d) "Provided solely" means the specified amount may be spent
10 only for the specified purpose.
11 (3) Unless otherwise specifically authorized in this act, any
12 portion of an amount provided solely for a specified purpose that is
13 not expended subject to the specified conditions and limitations to
14 fulfill the specified purpose shall lapse.
15 (4) The amounts shown under the headings "Prior Biennia," "Future
16 Biennia," and "Total" in this act are for informational purposes only
17 and do not constitute legislative approval of these amounts. "Prior
18 biennia" typically refers to the immediate prior biennium for
19 reappropriations, but may refer to multiple biennia in the case of
20 specific projects. A "future biennia" amount is an estimate of what
21 may be appropriated for the project or program in the 2025-2027
22 biennium and the following three biennia; an amount of zero does not
23 necessarily constitute legislative intent to not provide funding for
24 the project or program in the future.
25 (5) "Reappropriations" in this act are appropriations and, unless
26 the context clearly provides otherwise, are subject to the relevant
27 conditions and limitations applicable to appropriations.
28 Reappropriations shall be limited to the unexpended balances
29 remaining on June 30, 2023, from the 2021-2023 biennial
30 appropriations for each project.
