Overview

HD 4679 is a proposed House Document that records a communication from the Office of the Comptroller submitting the Paid Prior Year Deficiency Report for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025. The bill’s purpose is to formally convey the quarterly report to the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means.

Purpose and Legal Basis

  • Based on Item 1599-2040 of Section 2B of Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2024.
