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).
