$FY27 LEG SUPPORT AGENCIES

HB 5721 allocates specific funding from the General Revenue Fund to multiple legislative support agencies for fiscal year 2027 (starting July 1, 2026). It provides $4.79 million for the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability’s operations, $1.5 million for pension contributions to the State Employees' Retirement System for legislative staff, and $3.5 million for equipment purchases at the Architect of the Capitol, among other allocations. The bill directly affects internal legislative agencies, including the Legislative Audit Commission, Legislative Ethics Commission, and Legislative Information System, covering their operational and contingent expenses. This is a routine funding measure with no new policy changes, solely ensuring these agencies have budgeted resources for the upcoming fiscal year.
