Supplemental appropriation to Department of Homeland Security, fund 0430
SB 816 adds $132,000 to the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center budget (fund 0430, fiscal year 2026) using an unappropriated surplus balance from the State Fund, General Revenue. The bill directly affects the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Secretary by providing supplemental funding for the Fusion Center. This is a procedural budget amendment that reallocates existing unspent state funds, not a new policy or tax change. The funding is designated specifically for the Fusion Center's operations under the "8a Fusion Center - Surplus" line item.

MINOR
The document was converted from a formal legislative bill text into a website interface, replacing the legal content with navigation menus and site links. The actual funding details for the Department of Homeland Security were preserved in a summary section but stripped of their formal legal structure, headers, and certification signatures.
Scope change
The bill's scope as a legal instrument was removed; it is now presented as a web page displaying the bill's history and status rather than an enforceable law.
TECHNICAL
Removed all formal legislative formatting, including the official state header, bill introduction details, and the legal certification signatures from the Senate and House clerks.
Added website navigation elements such as links to other Senate and House pages, a site footer with copyright information, and a contact form.
The specific funding amount of $132,000 for the DHS Fusion Center was retained but presented as plain text within a summary block instead of a formal appropriation table.
