Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to requiring itemization, by school district, of proposed appropriations to the education department for the support of school districts

AI Summary

This bill amends the state finance law to require that when the governor submits a budget bill or budget amendment allocating funds to the education department for school district support, the budget must include a detailed breakdown showing exactly how much money is being allocated to each individual school district in the state. This means that instead of presenting education funding as a lump sum, the governor's budget proposal must now provide complete transparency by itemizing the specific funding amount for every school district. The purpose of this requirement appears to be to increase budgetary transparency and give lawmakers, educators, and the public a clear understanding of how education funding is being distributed across the state. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning the next budget submission would need to comply with this new requirement.
