Prohibits the transfer of unexpended moneys from funds receiving moneys from a dedicated fee into any other fund
This bill prohibits state agencies from moving unspent money from funds that receive dedicated fees (like specific user fees) into other funds or using it for unrelated purposes. It applies directly to state funds that are legally required to keep money separate from general funds and spend it only for the specific purpose they were created for. The law requires these funds to remain distinct, preventing their unspent balances from being redirected to other programs or accounts. As a procedural budget rule, it focuses on fund management rather than new services or taxes.
