Relates to items of appropriation
This constitutional amendment (S 960) requires governors to submit budget bills containing all appropriations, plus separate non-appropriation bills for recommended policy changes. It mandates that all appropriation bills cover only one specific purpose with clear descriptions of each funding item, prohibiting multiple unrelated items or program rules within a single bill. This affects state agencies submitting budgets and the legislature reviewing them, aiming to improve transparency by separating funding requests from policy proposals. The changes would standardize how budget items are presented and reviewed under state constitutional rules.
