Bill > S1031

This bill amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the Disaster Emergency Account. It creates a separate account in the state treasury to be used by the Governor to pay obligations and expenses incurred during a declared state of disaster emergency. The bill outlines the process for the Governor to expend funds from this account, including transferring moneys from the general fund or other eligible accounts if necessary. It also limits the amount that can be transferred from the general fund to 1% of the annual appropriation, unless the legislature approves an exceedance. The bill includes a severability clause and declares an emergency, making the bill effective immediately upon passage and approval.
