An act relating to making appropriations for the support of government

This bill, known as the BIG BILL for Fiscal Year 2024, provides funding for Vermont state government operations and establishes the primary source for all state appropriations during that fiscal year. It authorizes specific dollar amounts for various state agencies and departments, covering personal services like wages and salaries, operating expenses such as utilities and supplies, and grants to local governments and community organizations. The legislation limits state activities to those supported by the appropriated funds and restricts the creation of new permanent state positions, while allowing the governor to accept and allocate federal funds for purposes consistent with existing state appropriations.
