Supplemental Appropriation to Department of Human Services, fund 0488
SB 830 adds $7.77 million to the Department of Human Services' Adoption program (fund 0488), $19.69 million to Foster Care (fund 0489), and $1 million to Adult Services (fund 0492) for fiscal year 2026. It uses unappropriated surplus funds from the State General Revenue Fund, as identified in the Governor's 2026 budget document. The bill directly affects these three DHS bureaus by providing additional funding for their existing programs without changing eligibility or service requirements. This is a procedural budget adjustment, not a new policy.

MODERATE
The bill was converted from a draft introduction to a final enrolled version, adding official legislative signatures, dates, and certification language. The core policy content regarding funding amounts for adoption, foster care, and adult services remained unchanged, though the final version includes a minor formatting error where the Foster Care appropriation amount was duplicated in the text.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it still appropriates funds for the same three programs within the Department of Human Services for fiscal year 2026.
TECHNICAL
Added official enrollment language, including dates of passage, certification by Senate and House clerks, and signatures for the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and Governor.
Included website navigation links and footer text typical of the final published legislative document.
Corrected the bill title from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' and updated the effective date to reflect passage.
The Foster Care appropriation amount was accidentally duplicated in the final text, repeating the $19,689,498 figure twice in the description of the same fund.
