Bill > S07631

This bill provides for an emergency appropriation to support government operations through April 29, 2025, extending the previous appropriation window from April 24 to April 29. The bill includes several key provisions across different state departments and agencies, with notable changes in funding allocations. Specifically, the bill increases appropriations for various programs, including a significant boost to the Medical Assistance Program, which sees increases in funding for services like hospital inpatient and outpatient care, managed care, pharmacy services, and long-term care. The bill also provides additional funding for the Department of Labor's Unemployment Insurance Benefit Program, the Department of Veterans' Services, and the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. The legislation allows for flexible spending and transfers between departments with the approval of the director of the budget, and requires that all expenditures be transferred to the final appropriation bills once they are enacted. The bill is designed to ensure continuous government operations and funding for essential services during a transitional period in the state's fiscal year, with a provision that the appropriations will be deemed repealed once the final budget is transferred by the state comptroller.
