This bill appropriates funds for the Office of the Attorney General for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, allocating a total of $34,822,884 from the State General Fund and $10,179,931 from special funds. A significant portion of these funds, totaling $31,891,779, is designated for "Personal Services," which covers salaries, wages, and fringe benefits for 91 permanent and 209 time-limited employees, with specific provisions for "Vacancy Funding" to increase filled positions rather than salaries for current employees. The bill also outlines specific allocations for various programs, including the Prosecutors Training Division, the Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement Unit, and programs supported by court assessments like Crime Victims Compensation and Children's Advocacy Centers, while also emphasizing the importance of maintaining detailed accounting records, adhering to performance targets, and prohibiting nepotism in hiring.
