Allowing for surplus money collected above voter approved excess levy requests to remain with specific county and placed in general fund

HB 2116 changes how surplus funds from voter-approved county levies are handled. If a county collects more money than the specific amount approved by voters for a special levy (like for schools or infrastructure), the extra funds will stay with that county instead of going to the state. The bill amends existing law to require these surplus funds to be placed directly into the county's general fund, where they can be spent like other local budget money. This affects counties that have passed voter-approved excess levies, ensuring they retain unused funds they collected. The change is procedural, focusing on fund retention rather than altering levy amounts or voter requirements.
