Bill > S1077

This bill provides appropriations for the District of Columbia's local funds for fiscal year 2025, authorizing spending from the District's General Fund based on the Fiscal Year 2025 Local Budget Act. The bill sets specific limitations on spending, ensuring that total appropriated operating expenses do not exceed the budget estimates or the District's total revenues for the year. It allows for potential increases in funding through one-time transactions for emergency or unanticipated needs, but such increases must be approved by local District law and comply with the District of Columbia Home Rule Act's reserve requirements. The Chief Financial Officer of the District is tasked with ensuring compliance with these financial guidelines, with a specific prohibition on reprogramming capital project funds for operating expenses. The bill provides flexibility for managing the District's budget while maintaining fiscal responsibility, reflecting the unique governance structure of Washington, D.C., which operates under congressional oversight but has some home rule provisions.
