A bill for an act establishing continuing appropriations in fiscal years for which annual appropriations have not been enacted.

SF 2461 ensures state government operations continue if the legislature fails to pass the annual budget by July 1. It automatically carries over the previous fiscal year's funding amounts for state agencies and departments, based on actual spending and transfers documented by the Department of Management. The bill applies to ongoing appropriations (like salaries and routine operations) but excludes one-time projects (e.g., infrastructure funds) and any funding explicitly excluded by law. It maintains existing spending limits, reporting requirements, and nonreversion rules from the prior year, adjusted for the new fiscal year. This prevents service disruptions by providing a temporary funding mechanism until a full budget is enacted.
