Bill > HB1972

This bill appropriates a minimal sum of $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (DHFS) for its fiscal year 2026 ordinary and contingent expenses. The appropriation is a technical funding measure that provides a symbolic or placeholder amount of financial support for the department's operational costs. The bill specifies that the appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, which marks the start of the state's fiscal year, and allows the department to have a baseline funding allocation. While the $2 amount is unusually low and likely represents a procedural or placeholder appropriation, it ensures that the department has a legal basis for funding in the upcoming fiscal year.
