Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House File 2768 includes a provision allowing unspent funds allocated for utility costs to carry over into the next fiscal year. This change is significant because it ensures that the state can better manage its budget for utility expenses without losing allocated funds at the end of the fiscal year. It also provides stability for operations that rely on these resources, such as state buildings and facilities, potentially leading to more efficient financial planning.
