The bill introduced by Senators Smith and Woelfel aims to supplement and amend the appropriations of public funds from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Homeland Security's Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill recognizes the availability of an unappropriated surplus balance in the Treasury, as indicated in the Governor's Executive Budget Document submitted to the Legislature, which outlines the cash balance and revenue estimates for the fiscal year.

To facilitate the necessary expenditures, the bill proposes the addition of a new item of appropriation for inmate medical expenses, amounting to $84,600, under fund 0450 for fiscal year 2026 and organization 0608. This supplemental appropriation is intended to ensure that the designated spending unit has the necessary funds to cover medical expenses for inmates during the specified fiscal year.
