An act related to fiscal year 2024 budget adjustments
This bill adjusts the state budget for fiscal year 2024 by increasing funding for various state agencies and programs. It directly affects departments including public safety, health services, cannabis regulation, and military air contracts by modifying their allocated spending amounts. The key mechanism involves updating specific budget sections to reflect new funding levels drawn from general funds, federal sources, special funds, and other revenue streams. These changes increase the total state budget from approximately $83 million to $85 million for public safety, and similarly adjust allocations for health access, Medicaid programs, and other services. The bill was signed into law by the Governor in March 2024.
