Bill > S258

This bill is the 2025 Appropriations Act, which provides funding allocations for state agencies, departments, and institutions across North Carolina for the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium. The bill makes appropriations from multiple funding sources, including the General Fund, Highway Fund, Highway Trust Fund, and federal block grant funds, to support state operations. It specifies that the appropriations represent maximum funding amounts necessary to provide required services, with any unspent funds reverting to the appropriate fund at the end of each fiscal year. The bill incorporates provisions from the State Budget Act and clarifies that most of its textual provisions apply only to the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, unless specific statutory changes are intended to have broader effects. The bill includes standard legal provisions such as a severability clause (which ensures that if one part of the act is found unconstitutional, the rest remains valid) and sets its effective date as July 1, 2025. The legislation is designed to establish a comprehensive budget framework for North Carolina's state government operations during the specified two-year period.
