AN ACT CONCERNING PASSAGE OF THE STATE BUDGET AND MUNICIPAL FUNDING.

HB 5120 requires the state budget (including municipal funding appropriations) to be adopted no later than April 1st each year. This directly affects municipalities, giving them a fixed deadline to plan their local budgets. The bill's key provision is setting this annual deadline to provide predictable timing for municipal financial planning, as stated in its purpose. It does not change funding levels or specific programs, only the timeline for budget adoption.
