§ 9935 Legislative Contingent Fund Rules

• •Money set aside for the Senate and Assembly (like a savings account) doesn't expire at the end of the year—it stays available until it's used.
• •If there's a special meeting (like an emergency session), the money for that meeting is kept separate and must be used only for that meeting.
• •Any leftover money from a special meeting goes back to the main state money pot when the meeting is over.

Imagine the Senate has $100 saved up for office supplies. They don’t have to spend it all by December 31—it stays there until they need it, even if that’s next year.

The law says this money doesn’t disappear at the end of the year. It’s always there for them to use when they need it, unless it’s for a special meeting. If it’s for a special meeting, any leftover money goes back to the state’s main bank account when the meeting ends.
