AI Summary
This bill amends the State Comptroller Act to allow the State Comptroller, with the approval of the State Treasurer, to establish rules for periodic transfers of funds for use under the "imprest system," which is a method of managing petty cash. Specifically, the bill expands the Department of Agriculture's ability to use these imprest funds to cover not only State Fair premiums and awards and entertainment contracts, but also to pay "State Fair competition personnel" (individuals involved in contests and events at the fair) and "entertainment support contracts" (agreements for services necessary to provide entertainment at the fair). These changes are intended to streamline payments for essential State Fair operations and will take effect on July 1, 2026.
