This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Tourism 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 Tourism by adding a new item of appropriation under the Capital Outlay, Repairs, and Equipment category.

The new appropriation item will allocate $10,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund to support the Department of Tourism's initiatives. The specific fund and organization numbers for this appropriation are 0293 and 0304, respectively, for the fiscal year 2026. This legislative action is intended to ensure that the Department of Tourism has the necessary financial resources to carry out its functions effectively during the specified fiscal period.
