| General appropriations bill and act
The general appropriations bill is drafted by the Legislative Budget Board (LBB)
and is available from House Document Distribution. The bill
is printed after being reported out of committee, and single copies are delivered to
members. Because of its size, the general appropriations bill is available for room
use only in the Legislative Reference Library. The LBB provides different versions
of the bill on its website. The enrolled version of the bill is included in the
session laws, and after the end of the session, the LBB publishes the act with notes
on the governor’s line-item vetoes. Scanned copies of general appropriations acts from the 56th Legislature (1959) to the present are available on the
Legislative Reference
Library’s website. |
