This bill proposes to transfer $1,192,452 from the Attorney General Consumer Protection Recovery Fund to the surplus balance of the State Fund, General Revenue, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The legislation recognizes that the current balance in the Attorney General Consumer Protection Recovery Fund exceeds the necessary amount for its intended purposes. Consequently, the bill aims to decrease the available funds in this account and allocate the surplus to the State Fund for further appropriations.
Additionally, the bill includes a supplementary appropriation to the Department of Health's Central Office, specifically adding a new line item for the Tobacco Education Program. This new appropriation will utilize the transferred surplus funds, thereby enhancing the Department of Health's budget for the fiscal year 2025. The legal language inserted into the bill specifies the fund, fiscal year, and organization details for the new appropriation, ensuring clarity in the allocation of these public moneys.
