Bill > HB0163

This bill appropriates a minimal amount of $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Office of the Legislative Inspector General (LIG) for its fiscal year 2026 operational expenses. The funding is intended to cover both ordinary (standard, day-to-day) and contingent (unexpected or variable) expenses for the office. The appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, which marks the start of the next fiscal year. While the dollar amount is extremely small, which could suggest this is a technical or placeholder bill, it ensures that the Legislative Inspector General's office maintains its funding allocation for the upcoming fiscal year. The LIG typically serves an important oversight role, investigating potential misconduct or ethics violations within the legislative branch.
