Bill Summary
Appropriates general funds to various programs due to anticipated operating shortfalls because of the lack of authority to transfer funds between programs.
AI Summary
This bill aims to address funding adjustments for state programs by appropriating general funds to cover anticipated operating shortfalls that arose because the legislature previously removed a provision allowing state departments to transfer funds between their own programs, a practice that had been permitted in prior years. Specifically, the bill proposes to add new sections to the General Appropriations Act of 2025 (Act 250) to provide fourth quarter funding for existing programs and to amend existing appropriations by reducing certain amounts, effectively adjusting funding to match anticipated activity levels, all while maintaining a budget-neutral impact.
