AN ACT RELATING TO EMERGENCIES; PROVIDING THAT NO MORE THAN SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($750,000) PER QUARTER OF A FISCAL YEAR MAY BE APPROPRIATED FROM THE APPROPRIATION CONTINGENCY FUND TO ADDRESS EMERGENCIES DECLARED IN THAT QUARTER.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to limit the amount that can be appropriated from the Appropriation Contingency Fund to address emergencies declared by the governor. Specifically, it caps the amount at no more than $750,000 per quarter of a fiscal year, down from the previous provision that allowed the governor to designate an unspecified amount from the general fund surplus. The bill aims to provide a clear limit on the use of contingency funds for emergency response.
