Subcommittee reports S.291 continuing-appropriations measure favorably, 4-0
Summary
The General Government Subcommittee voted 4-0 to report S.291, a continuing-resolution appropriation intended to keep state payments flowing if a general appropriations act is not enacted for fiscal 2025–26.
The General Government Subcommittee voted unanimously to report S.291, a continuing-resolution appropriation, out favorably.
S.291 is written to allow the state to pay constitutionally required amounts, timely debt service and other obligations for fiscal year 2025–26 if a new general appropriations act has not been enacted, Trustee staff Terica Staggers said. "A fiscal impact statement was not required as this is an appropriation bill," Staggers told the panel.
Committee members offered no questions before the voice vote and the chair announced the measure had been reported out favorably by a vote of 4 to 0.
The joint resolution includes an automatic expiration clause: upon enactment of a new general appropriations act, the joint resolution will expire. No additional details about specific appropriations, dollar amounts, or departmental allocations were provided to the subcommittee during the discussion.
The committee then moved to its next agenda item.
