Subcommittee advances continuing resolution to keep state operations running if budget misses July 1, 2026
Summary
The subcommittee voted 4–0 to give favorable approval to S.769, a joint continuing resolution that would allow the state to pay expenses for fiscal year 2627 if the general appropriations act is not enacted by July 1, 2026; the resolution continues debt-service appropriations, does not continue prior nonrecurring funds, and dissolves study committees unless reauthorized.
A legislative subcommittee voted unanimously to advance S.769, a joint continuing resolution that would allow the state to continue paying its expenses for fiscal year 2627 if the general appropriations act is not passed by July 1, 2026.
Staff told the subcommittee that the resolution preserves appropriations necessary to meet timely debt service on state obligations, but it does not continue any nonrecurring funds from the prior budget. The measure also automatically dissolves study committees created in the previous budget unless those groups are explicitly reauthorized.
After brief discussion and no amendments, members moved, seconded and approved the measure on a 4–0 roll call. The subcommittee recorded the vote as 4 yeas and advanced S.769 for further consideration.
