This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The Governor's Executive Budget Document indicated that there is an available surplus in the Treasury, which justifies this additional funding. The bill aims to enhance the appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security by adding a new item of appropriation for the Fusion Center, with a specified amount of $132,000.
The new legal language introduced in the bill includes the designation of fund 0430, fiscal year 2026, and organization 0601, which outlines the specific allocation for the Fusion Center. This amendment is intended to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security has the necessary resources to operate effectively during the specified fiscal year.
