increasing the limit for transfers of appropriations in Carroll County.

SB 495 increases the threshold for formal approval needed when Carroll County transfers funds between budget items. It raises the limit from $1,000 to $10,000 per transfer or cumulative total before requiring written requests and county commissioner review. This change applies specifically to Carroll County departments and commissioners handling budget adjustments. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, streamlining small transfers without additional procedural steps.
