Provides for emergency appropriation for the period April 1, 2026 through May 6, 2026

This bill provides emergency funding to keep state government operations running from April 1, 2026, through May 6, 2026, while waiting for the regular annual budget to be passed. It authorizes the state comptroller to pay salaries for state employees and cover essential operating costs, such as utilities and supplies, during this specific period. The legislation also allocates money to settle liabilities related to contracts and grants approved before and after April 1, as well as funds for employee benefits. These financial measures ensure that state departments and agencies can continue their daily functions without interruption until the full fiscal year budget is enacted.
