AN ACT relating to branch budget bills.

SB 187 amends Kentucky law to clarify that branch budget bills must contain separate, specific appropriations for each section, subsection, and fund. It adds a severability clause stating that if any part of a budget bill is ruled unconstitutional, only that part is invalidated - other sections remain effective. This technical correction directly affects how Kentucky's state budget bills are structured and passed, ensuring budget continuity during legal challenges. The bill does not change budget amounts or policies, only the procedural framework for enacting budget legislation.
