AN ACT CONCERNING EXPENDITURES OF APPROPRIATED FUNDS OTHER THAN THE GENERAL FUND.

HB 5425 requires Connecticut's Office of Fiscal Analysis to review state budget appropriations from funds other than the General Fund for the 2026-2027 biennium. The office must identify spending areas with 10% or greater increases compared to the prior biennium and submit findings to the Appropriations committee by February 1, 2027. This procedural bill directly affects state agencies by mandating a review of non-General Fund spending patterns, with no changes to actual funding levels or policy. The review process is scheduled to begin July 1, 2026, and focuses solely on identifying spending trends.
