Provides for emergency appropriation for the period April 1, 2026 through May 26, 2026
This bill provides an emergency appropriation of approximately $2.8 billion to fund state government operations from April 1, 2026, through May 26, 2026. The funds are designated to pay salaries and benefits for state employees, cover non-personal service liabilities like supplies and contracts, and finance approved capital projects. These measures ensure that state departments and agencies can continue their normal functions while waiting for the governor to submit and the legislature to enact the full annual budget. The legislation authorizes the comptroller to make these payments immediately without waiting for further legislative action.
