The bill also makes several significant changes to state programs and funds, including:

- Modifying the Nebraska Transformational Projects Act to extend application deadlines and adjust matching fund provisions
- Changing investment earnings crediting for multiple funds, often redirecting earnings to the General Fund
- Providing for transfers to other specific funds like the Education Future Fund and State Park Cash Revolving Fund
- Eliminating or modifying several state programs and cash funds
The bill has an emergency clause, meaning it takes effect immediately upon passage and approval. The transfers and changes are intended to manage state fund balances, provide financial flexibility, and potentially address budget needs across multiple fiscal years.
