����� Between FY 2015 and FY 2026, annual State Appropriations
Acts except for FY 2025 have included budget language permitting the Attorney
General to reallocate funds from State professional boards, advisory boards,
and committees� unexpended appropriation balances for other departmental
purposes. During the FY 2027 Budget process, the Department of Law and Public
Safety estimated that up to $192.1 million has been reallocated from the
professional boards� excess funds from FY 2015 to FY 2026.
