L.001

SEN Appropriations

Passed [*]

Plain English: This amendment increases the total amount of money approved for the legislative department's budget in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

  • It raises several specific funding amounts listed on pages 2 and 3 of the bill to higher numbers.
  • The amendment text only lists dollar figures without explaining which specific programs or departments receive each increase, so it is unclear exactly how the extra money will be used.
  • Because the original bill's detailed budget breakdown was not provided in this document, we cannot identify what each line item represents.
