The bill passed on March 13, 2026, amends the appropriations of public moneys from the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Commerce, Division of Forestry. It increases the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, by supplementing an existing item of appropriation. The total appropriation for the Division of Forestry is set at $600,000 for current expenses under fund 0250, fiscal year 2026, organization 0305.
This legislative action follows the Governor's submission of the Executive Budget Document, which indicated an unappropriated balance in the Treasury available for appropriation during the fiscal year. The bill reflects the need to allocate additional funds to support the operations of the Division of Forestry, ensuring that necessary resources are available for the upcoming fiscal year.
