Provides for emergency appropriation for the period April 1, 2026 through April 14, 2026
This bill provides emergency funding to the state government to cover essential expenses from April 1, 2026, through April 14, 2026, while waiting for the full annual budget to be finalized. The money is allocated to state departments, agencies, and the judiciary to pay employee salaries, benefits, and operational costs such as utilities and services. Specifically, it authorizes the comptroller to release funds for personal services like payroll and non-personal services including general state charges and aid to localities. This temporary measure ensures that government operations continue smoothly during a short gap in the fiscal year without requiring new legislation.
