An Act to provide appropriations from the General Fund for the expenses of certain agencies of the Executive Department for the fiscal year July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and for the payment of bills incurred and remaining unpaid at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
HB 1979 is a funding bill that allocates money from the state's General Fund to cover operating expenses for specific executive branch agencies during the 2025-2026 fiscal year (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). It also directs payment for bills incurred but unpaid by the end of the prior fiscal year (June 30, 2025). The bill directly affects the designated state agencies that rely on this funding to operate, without changing any laws or policies. This is a routine budgetary measure to ensure agencies have necessary financial resources.
