SB 14 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing for continuous state budgets until amended, lapsed or eliminated by the legislature, temporary reallocations and establishing conditions and limitations.

SB 14 ensures that state budget appropriations automatically continue year-to-year if the legislature does not amend, lapse, or eliminate them by July 1. It allows the Department of Administration to adjust budget structures for accounting purposes if the biennial budget isn't enacted by June 30. The bill also requires State Finance Council approval for temporary fund reallocations between accounts (backed by future revenues) and mandates proportional reductions in state funding if federal program funding is cut. Additionally, it requires special approval for state funds exceeding federal matching needs to secure federal dollars.
