Budget & Taxes (Revenue · Seniors)

HB 5295 adds $266,879 to the Bureau of Senior Services' budget for fiscal year 2026, using unappropriated funds from the State Fund, General Revenue. It directly affects senior services programs by providing supplemental funding for current operational expenses. The bill amends the existing appropriation by creating a new line item under "Current Expenses" for the Bureau of Senior Services (Fund 0420, Org 0508) without creating new taxes or policies. This allocation stems from an unappropriated balance identified in the Governor's January 2026 budget document.
