2026 Appropriations Act.
SB 940, titled the 2026 Appropriations Act, allocates state funds for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to support the daily operations of North Carolina state agencies, departments, and institutions. The bill distributes money from the General Fund, the Highway Fund, and the Highway Trust Fund to cover essential services, including transportation maintenance, while also funding federal block grants for health and other programs. It incorporates existing budget rules and applies only to the specific fiscal year unless other laws indicate a longer duration. The legislation becomes effective on July 1, 2026, and includes standard provisions ensuring that any remaining funds revert to their original sources at the end of the year.

This update reflects the formal transition of Senate Bill 940 from its initial filing status to its first official edition. The changes involve updating the document's metadata, including the bill number, version identifier, and referral details, while retaining the core legislative text.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to reflect the official bill number (SB 940) and session year (2025), replacing the internal tracking code used during the drafting phase.
A specific referral date (April 30, 2026) and committee (Rules and Operations of the Senate) were added to the bill's metadata, indicating the procedural next steps.
The internal tracking code in the footer was changed from a draft identifier to the official bill version number (S940-v-1) to signify the bill is now in its first published edition.
