Legislation Passed Subject to Appropriation
The Office of the Budget Director is responsible for circulating quarterly reports identifying the bills adopted to Council that are subject to inclusion in a budget and financial plan (otherwise known as “subject to appropriation”).
When a bill is passed subject to appropriation, it means the bill is not applicable and will not be implemented until the underlying costs of the measure are funded. For some measures, only portions of the bill are subject to appropriation, which allows the remaining provisions to be implemented.
Below are quarterly reports circulated by the Office of the Budget Director since October 2020.
