 Senate Bill 192 (SB 192) makes general appropriations and authorizes expenditures by state agencies required by law. 

 Senate Bill 192 (SB 192) proposes appropriations and authorizes expenditures by state agencies required by law. Funding is detailed for the Legislative and Judicial branches, and for General Control, Commerce and Industry, Agriculture, Energy and Natural Resources, Health, Hospitals and Human Services, Public Safety, Transportation, Other Education, Higher Education and Public School Support. 

Definitions are provided, and sources for appropriations are identified. The state budget division of the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) is charged with monitoring revenue received by agencies from sources other than the General Fund and with reducing the operating budget of any agency whose revenue from such sources is not meeting projections. 

The DFA is charged with regular consultation with the Legislative Finance Committee (LFC) staff to monitor revenue collections and estimates and present plans to remedy deficits. In certain cases, allowances are made for budget transfers. Restrictions on what appropriations may be used for are set.
 

 If the bill does not pass, general appropriations will not be made, or will be delayed, and state agency expenditures will not be authorized.
