The bill passed on March 13, 2026, amends the appropriations of public moneys from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Administration, Office of the Secretary. It establishes a new item of appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, which includes a total appropriation of $5,000,000 for current expenses under fund 0186, fiscal year 2026, organization 0201.
The bill is based on the Governor's Executive Budget Document submitted to the Legislature, which outlined the cash balance and revenue estimates for the fiscal year 2026. The document indicated that there is an unappropriated surplus balance available for appropriation, justifying the need for this amendment to the budget. The new appropriations will support the operations of the Department of Administration for the specified fiscal year.
