Bill > SB5551

This bill appropriates funds and establishes expenditure limits for a specific agency for the 2025-2027 biennium (a two-year budget period). The bill provides a General Fund appropriation of an unspecified amount for the agency's expenses, and sets maximum spending limits from two different revenue sources: first, from fees, miscellaneous receipts, and other non-lottery, non-federal revenues, and second, from federal funds. Notably, the bill includes an emergency clause, which means it is considered immediately necessary for public welfare and will take effect on July 1, 2025. This type of legislation is common in state government budgeting, allowing agencies to have clear financial guidelines and spending authority for the upcoming two-year budget cycle. The emergency declaration suggests that the funding and expenditure limits are considered critically important for maintaining public services and operational continuity.
