Title: Appropriations from State General Fund for executive, legislative, and judicial agencies of the State, other functions of government, debt service, and capital outlay for fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.
Summary: SB67 is Alabama's FY2025 appropriation bill that authorizes state General Fund and other funds to pay for ordinary government expenses, debt service, and capital projects across executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
What This Bill Does
It allocates program-by-program funding from the State General Fund and other funds for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, covering operating costs, debt service, and capital outlays. It includes a large number of line items for various state agencies and boards and allows transfers and adjustments; it also reappropriates unspent FY2024 appropriations. The act creates a conditional $50 million appropriation to the Department of Corrections to hire additional officers (releasing in four quarterly installments with reporting requirements and a fallback to the Correctional Capital Improvement Fund if targets aren’t met), and provides for a 2% salary increase for state employees plus inflationary adjustments funded from the General Fund, with priority given to payroll across agencies. It also requires periodic reporting on grants and program statuses, repeals conflicting laws, and establishes an effective date of October 1, 2024.

Who It Affects
State agencies, departments, and employees (including payroll and operating budgets) that receive General Fund and other funds for FY2025 and are affected by salary increases and cost adjustments.
Residents and organizations that rely on state funding and grants (e.g., health programs, social services, transportation, public safety, and community projects) who will experience funding allocations, grant awards, and capital improvements.
