FY 2016 Appropriation

Each year the Legislature funds items that impact several agencies, don't apply to any specific agency, or pose a conflict of interest to agency management. For these programs, the Legislature directs the Division of Finance to administer payment as intended for each appropriation. In the past, the Legislature funded Y2K, critical land issues, and inmate issues by placing the funds in dedicated accounts managed by the Division of Finance.
