Bill > SB01527

This bill eliminates language specifying that numerous state accounts are "within the General Fund" while maintaining their status as separate, nonlapsing accounts. These accounts span a wide range of purposes, including various state programs related to agriculture, environmental protection, public health, economic development, military affairs, and social services. Essentially, the bill is a technical correction that removes redundant language about the accounts' location within the General Fund, which does not change their fundamental characteristics or funding mechanisms. The changes apply to over 100 different state accounts and will take effect on July 1, 2025. By removing the specific reference to the General Fund, the bill appears to provide more administrative flexibility while preserving the existing structure and purpose of these specialized accounts. The modifications are primarily stylistic and do not substantively alter how these accounts are funded, managed, or used by state agencies.
