STATE BUDGET – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to provide for the office of administrative hearings and to provide for the billing of state agencies for certain services.

This bill establishes a new billing system for state agencies using the Office of Administrative Hearings. It requires the Division of Financial Management to calculate annual fees for these services by November 1 each year, with agencies paying the costs in the next fiscal year. Funds collected go to an indirect cost recovery fund before transferring to the state general fund. The bill repeals outdated cost estimate language and amends budget procedures to implement this billing structure, effective July 1, 2025.
