HJR 31: A JOINT RESOLUTION relating to contingent appropriations.

HJR 31 is a procedural joint resolution confirming that the General Assembly remains under consideration of a contingent appropriation tied to the Department of Agriculture’s program-specific funding. It directly affects the Department of Agriculture, as it relates to a requirement under 2024 Ky. Acts ch. 223, sec. 64 for the department to submit a funding proposal by December 1, 2024. The resolution (now Act Ch. 48) states the contingent appropriation is still under review by the General Assembly, without allocating funds or changing existing requirements. This is a formal procedural step, not a policy change.
