This bill would require executive branch agencies to carry out any task or program created by the state legislature, even if the legislature does not set aside separate money for it. In those cases, agencies would have to use their existing budgets to get the job done. This could affect how state agencies prioritize and spend the funds they already have. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who rely on state agency services, and the agencies themselves responsible for carrying out legislative directives.
