Bill > AB561

This bill provides a supplemental appropriation of $20,733,824 from the State General Fund to the Division of Forestry within the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to cover an unanticipated shortfall in firefighting costs. The appropriation is additional to the funding already allocated in a previous legislative session (specifically, section 23 of chapter 209, Statutes of Nevada 2023). This type of supplemental appropriation is common when government agencies unexpectedly exceed their original budget due to extraordinary circumstances, such as more extensive or severe wildfire seasons than initially anticipated. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage and approval, allowing the Division of Forestry to quickly access the needed funds to cover its firefighting expenses.
