Bill > HB3971

This bill appropriates $2 from the General Revenue Fund (GRF) to the Department of the Lottery for its fiscal year 2026 ordinary and contingent expenses. The bill specifies that the entire $2 may be used, or a lesser amount if not fully required, to cover the department's operational and miscellaneous expenses. The appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, which marks the start of the next fiscal year. While the monetary amount is quite small, this bill represents a standard legislative mechanism for allocating specific funding to a state department, in this case the state lottery agency, to ensure its continued functioning for the upcoming fiscal period.
