SB74 — transfer moneys to the general fund from the budget reserve fund and the general revenue replacement fund, and to declare an emergency.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
The engrossed version replaces the specific transfer amounts of $56,153,769 from the budget reserve fund and $41,874,757 from the general revenue replacement fund with placeholder amounts of $101 each, indicating the final funding figures are still being negotiated. This change does not alter the bill's purpose of transferring money to the general fund, but suspends the actual dollar amounts until final agreement.
The Conference Committee replaced the placeholder amounts with actual transfer figures: $80,854,355 from the budget reserve fund and $20,613,269 from the general revenue replacement fund to the general fund. This change converts the bill from a procedural framework into a substantive appropriations measure totaling over $101 million in transfers.
This change converts the bill from its conference committee version to its final enrolled form by removing the legislative markup language and adding standard enrollment certification pages and signature blocks for the Governor and state officials. The substantive provisions of the bill—transferring $80,854,355 from the budget reserve fund and $20,613,269 from the general revenue replacement fund to the general fund—remain unchanged.
