Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to requiring itemization, by school district, of proposed appropriations to the education department for the support of school districts
AI Summary
This bill modifies the state finance law by requiring that the governor's annual budget (and any subsequent amendments) include a detailed breakdown of education department appropriations for school districts, specifically mandating that each budget allocation be itemized by individual school district. Currently, budget appropriations for education may be presented in a more generalized format, but this bill would compel the governor to provide a granular, district-by-district accounting of how education funding will be distributed. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency in educational funding by allowing legislators, educators, and the public to see exactly how much money is allocated to each school district in the state. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning the next budget submission would need to comply with this new requirement for itemized school district funding.
