Commerce
The Department of Commerce currently awards grants to fund transitional housing and associated supportive services for, and to fund the provision of shelter to, homeless individuals and families. The grants are funded by an annual appropriation from general purpose revenues, and currently, moneys in the appropriation account that are allocated but not encumbered by December 31 of each year lapse to the general fund unless JCF transfers the moneys to the next calendar year. This bill deletes the lapse requirement and makes the appropriation a biennial appropriation. As a result, unencumbered moneys in the appropriation account will lapse to the general fund at the end of each fiscal biennium.
