SB 280 is a routine budget bill that allocates state and federal funds for government operations during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It provides funding for all state departments (including Education, Health, Transportation, and the judicial system), public schools, and payment of outstanding bills from the previous fiscal year. The bill specifies funding sources, including the General Fund, special accounts, and federal funds, to cover ongoing expenses and unpaid obligations. As a standard appropriations measure, it authorizes spending but does not create new policies or alter existing laws.
