Note: The available information does not include the bill text or fiscal notes. The summary below reflects the bill’s stated purpose in its title and the typical features of an appropriations act, as well as standard legislative procedure.

What the bill would do (based on title)

  • Enact an appropriations act intended to provide or authorize funding for state government’s operations, programs, and agencies for a given period (commonly a fiscal year).
  • Include a “repealer” component, which would repeal or rescind specific existing laws, provisions, or prior appropriations—likely to remove outdated or duplicative authority or to supersede earlier budget authorities.

Because the actual text is not provided, the precise funding levels, targeted programs, and repealed provisions are not specified here.

Key provisions (expected elements in an appropriations act)

If enacted, an appropriations act typically includes:
- Authorized funding for agencies, departments, and programs.
- Specified appropriation amounts (general fund, dedicated funds, and potentially federal funds).
- Provisions on spending restrictions, contingency authorities, and transfer or reallocation rules.
- Fiscal governance language (reporting requirements, compliance, and anti-fraud provisions).
- Effective dates and sunset or renewal language (when funding shall become available and expire).
- Repeals of selected prior provisions or budget authorities (the “repealer” component).

Note: Specific dollar amounts, program allocations, and repealed provisions would be detailed in the bill text.

Who would be affected

  • State government agencies, departments, and programs that receive appropriations.
  • State finances and administration, including budgetary control and reporting mechanisms.
  • Entities relying on existing authorities or funding that would be repealed or altered by the repealer.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Current stage: Referred to Ways and Means, indicating initial budget/finance review and consideration.
  • Next steps in process: Likely hearings, amendments, and floor consideration in the sponsor’s chamber, followed by passage and potential reconciliation with the other chamber (if applicable) and gubernatorial action (sign/veto) depending on the jurisdiction.
  • Timeline considerations: Appropriations acts typically align with the fiscal year; the exact effective dates and implementation schedule will be defined in the bill text and any related fiscal notes.

Relationship to related bill

  • A 10632 (prior-session) is identified as related, suggesting this bill may align with or supersede provisions from a prior-year proposal. Review of A 10632’s text and fiscal impact could provide additional context.

Notes and next steps

  • A complete and accurate summary requires the bill text and fiscal note to confirm appropriations, repeals, and effective dates.
  • To refine this summary, please provide the bill’s full text or a fiscal impact statement. I can then update with precise dollar amounts, program names, repealed provisions, and specific timeline details.
