Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of statewide elected officials, the Judiciary, the Office of the State Public Defender, and the General Assembly

HB 2012 is a fiscal appropriations bill that allocates state funds for the 2024-2025 fiscal year to cover operational expenses of key state government entities. It directly affects statewide elected officials (Governor, Lieutenant Governor), the Judiciary, the State Public Defender, the General Assembly, and specific programs like arts councils and historical museums. The bill authorizes funding from various state funds for personnel costs, equipment, grants, and one-time projects (such as a museum focused on African American baseball history), all to be spent within the designated fiscal period. It does not create new policies but provides the financial resources required for existing state government operations and programs.
