State agency continuing operations appropriation if a bill to fund that agency has not been enacted by July 1, 2025

SF 3529 ensures Minnesota state agencies can continue operating if their full funding bill isn't passed by July 1, 2025. It provides temporary funding through July 31, 2025, using the lower of two amounts: either the agency's base operational level from prior budgets or 1/12th of its 2025 total funding. This applies to all state agencies, including those in the executive, judicial, and legislative branches, preventing shutdowns due to delayed budget approvals. The bill does not change policy but creates a backup funding mechanism.
