This resolution changes the Legislature's internal budget rules to create a formal system for "district requests for appropriation" — a way for individual lawmakers to direct a set amount of state funding to projects or programs in their own districts. Each year, the Executive Appropriations Committee must set aside up to $10 million (or 1% of new available revenue, whichever is less) specifically for this purpose, split equally between the Senate and House, with each senator and representative receiving an equal individual share. A legislator can use their share to request one-time funding for a project or program that is at least partially within their district and serves a statewide public purpose; neighboring legislators can also pool their allocations for shared projects. These requests go through a subcommittee review for compliance with the rules, and any approved requests must be automatically included in the final state budget bill.
