Bill > SB2690

This bill appropriates funds for the operation of Tennessee's state government for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, covering expenses for the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, as well as state aid, public debt service, capital outlay, and emergency funds. It details specific allocations for various departments and agencies, including significant funding for education, higher education, and the TennCare program, while also outlining provisions for managing departmental revenues, reserves, and federal grants. The bill also includes provisions for salary adjustments for state and higher education employees, specifies how certain dedicated funds and fees are to be used, and addresses the carry-forward of unexpended appropriations for specific programs and projects. It further outlines procedures for handling capital outlay projects, managing state office buildings, and coordinating internal audits, while also addressing the funding of certain legislation and the administration of federal block grants. The bill emphasizes that all appropriations are subject to existing state laws governing financial management and procurement, and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is found invalid, the rest remains in effect.
