The bill passed on March 14, 2026, amends the appropriations of public funds from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Commerce, Division of Natural Resources. It supplements the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, by adding a new item of appropriation for capital outlay, repairs, and equipment, amounting to $10,000,000.
This legislative action follows the Governor's submission of the Executive Budget Document, which indicated an available unappropriated surplus balance in the Treasury for the fiscal year. The bill aims to allocate these funds to support the Division of Natural Resources, ensuring that necessary capital improvements and equipment repairs can be addressed within the specified fiscal year.
