EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill appropriates moneys for the period beginning July 1, 2015, and ending July 31, 2015, to entities identified as in receipt of appropriations for the 2014-2015 or 2015-2016 fiscal year.
   The temporary appropriations made in the bill are equal to one-twelfth of the amounts of all line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, and standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law, including federal and nonstate funds, made by enrolled bills for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. The temporary appropriations are required to be determined by the department of management, in consultation with the legislative services agency, from the annual appropriations made for the 2015-2016 fiscal year, by bills passed by both the senate and the house of representatives during the 2015 regular legislative session and enrolled for presentation to the governor.
   For all line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, and standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law, including appropriations from federal and nonstate funds, not included in bills passed by both the senate and the house of representatives during the 2015 regular legislative session, the continuing appropriations made in the bill are equal to one-twelfth of the amounts of all line item appropriations, standing limited appropriations, and standing unlimited appropriations otherwise limited by law, including federal and nonstate funds, made for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, by taking into consideration all provisions of law affecting such appropriations, including interdepartmental and intradepartmental transfers.
   Both the temporary and continuing appropriations temporarily supplant any appropriations carried forward from previous fiscal years. The continuing appropriations also temporarily supplant any duplicative standing appropriation for the 2015-2016 fiscal year.
   Both the temporary and continuing appropriations become allotments of the full-year appropriation amounts upon the governor’s approval of the enrolled bills containing the same line item appropriations or limited standing appropriations.
   The bill takes effect upon enactment. If the governor signs the bill on or after July 1, 2015, the bill applies retroactively to July 1, 2015.
