Bill > HB2004

This bill appropriates funds from the State Treasury for various departments and programs for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, with specific allocations for the Department of Revenue and the Department of Transportation. For the Department of Revenue, funds are designated for collecting highway-related fees and taxes, operating the Division of Taxation, managing motor vehicle and driver licensing, providing legal services, and general administration, with provisions for "flexibility," meaning a certain percentage of funds can be shifted between personal service (salaries and wages) and expense and equipment categories, or between specific sections of the appropriations, to better manage operational needs. The bill also allocates funds for distributions to port authorities and industrial manufacturing zones, fees to counties for delinquent collections and lien filings, distributions of motor fuel taxes, refunds for various tax overpayments, and transfers to specific funds like the Debt Offset Escrow Fund and Circuit Courts Escrow Fund. For the Department of Transportation, appropriations cover highway program administration, employee retirement and insurance benefits, construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, debt service for state road bonds, transportation cost-share programs, a specific footbridge maintenance project, highway safety initiatives, fleet and information systems, and multimodal operations including transit programs, rail services, aviation programs, and waterways and ports. The bill also includes provisions for the State Lottery Commission, detailing appropriations for operational expenses, vendor payments for games, advertising, sponsorships, and responsible gaming messaging, as well as funds for the payment of lottery prizes.
