Bill > H0347

This bill provides a specific appropriation for the Office of the Secretary of State for fiscal year 2026, allocating a total of $468,300 from the General Fund. The funding is broken down into three main categories: personnel ($36,500), operating expenditures ($402,800), and capital outlay ($29,000). The bill also includes funds for the Commission on Uniform State Laws, totaling $6,700. Additionally, the bill grants reappropriation authority, allowing the Secretary of State to carry over any unexpended and unencumbered funds from the previous fiscal year (specifically for election integrity audits and elections system upgrades) through June 30, 2026. The State Controller must confirm the reappropriation amounts with the Legislative Services Office before processing. The bill is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will go into full effect on July 1, 2025, to ensure continuous funding and operational support for the Secretary of State's office.
