Supplemental Appropriation to Department of Homeland Security, fund 0450
SB 848 is a supplemental appropriation bill that allocates $84,600 from an unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, to cover inmate medical expenses for the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation under the Department of Homeland Security during fiscal year 2026. This funding specifically targets Correctional Units within the Division and uses existing surplus funds identified in the Governor’s budget document. The bill does not create new programs or alter policies but directs available resources to address medical costs for inmates. It is a routine budget adjustment, not a policy change, to ensure necessary healthcare funding for correctional facilities.

MODERATE
The bill was transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, adding standard legislative formatting, navigation links, and certification signatures while retaining the core provision to allocate $2,754,676 from surplus funds to inmate medical expenses for fiscal year 2026. The substantive policy content regarding the funding amount and recipient remains unchanged.
Scope change
No change in scope; the bill applies to the same department, fund, and fiscal year as the introduced version.
TECHNICAL
Added standard legislative headers, navigation menus, and footer links typical of the final enrolled version.
Included certification signatures for the Clerks of the Senate and House, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House to validate the bill's passage.
Changed the date reference from 'Introduced February 9, 2026' to 'Passed March 13, 2026; in effect from passage'.
