An Act making appropriations from the Professional Licensure Augmentation Account and from restricted revenue accounts within the General Fund to the Department of State for use by the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs in support of the professional licensure boards assigned thereto.

This bill adjusts the state budget by slightly reducing the funding allocated to the Department of State for its professional licensure boards. Specifically, it lowers the appropriation for the Professional Licensure Augmentation Account and several restricted revenue accounts by a total of less than $2 million. The changes affect the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, which oversees the licensing of various professions, by modifying the specific dollar amounts available for their operations. Ultimately, the legislation finalizes the state's financial plan for these regulatory agencies for the current fiscal year.
