Bill > SB1001

This bill is the General Appropriation Act of 2025, which allocates funds from the General Fund for various state executive department agencies for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Specifically, the bill provides funding for salaries, wages, travel expenses, contractual services, equipment, and other operational costs for state agencies. As an example, the bill includes a $20 million state appropriation for career and technical education equipment grants through the Department of Education. The bill also includes provisions for lapsing of unused funds, meaning that any unexpended, uncommitted, or unencumbered appropriations as of June 30, 2026, will automatically be canceled. The legislation is set to apply retroactively to July 1, 2025, and will take effect immediately upon passage. This type of bill is a standard annual appropriations measure that ensures state agencies have the necessary funding to operate and provide services during the upcoming fiscal year.
