A communication from the Office of the Comptroller (see item 1599-3384 of Section 2 of Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2025) submitting the Settlements and Judgements accounts payable report for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026

This document is a formal report from the Office of the Comptroller to the House and Senate Ways and Means Committees, not a legislative bill, so it does not create new laws or policy changes. It provides a financial update on the Settlements and Judgments reserve account for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, detailing how much money has been spent and how much remains available. The report shows that the state has used up all its appropriated funds for this purpose and is currently spending money under a pre-approved "spend in anticipation" authorization, which will require additional funding later in the year. Based on spending trends, the Comptroller is requesting consideration of a $25 million supplemental appropriation to cover the remaining expenses for fiscal year 2026.
