Official summary

Current law requires an amount equivalent to the recorded depreciation or amortization of an information technology asset acquired, repaired, improved, replaced, renovated, or constructed with an appropriation from the information technology capital account in the capital construction fund based on the depreciation period (information technology annual depreciation-lease equivalent payment) to be credited and transferred to the information technology capital account within the capital construction fund. Current law also requires the state treasurer to transfer any unappropriated balances in the information technology capital account or any otherwise unexpended and unencumbered money remaining in the information technology capital account at the end of a fiscal year to the general fund. The act prohibits the state treasurer from transferring any money that was transferred, credited, or paid into the information technology capital account as an information technology annual depreciation-lease equivalent payment back to the general fund at the end of a fiscal year, for state fiscal years commencing on or after July 1, 2026. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

What it covers: the record exactly as the official source publishes it — its identifiers (bill number, session, jurisdiction), its official title and long title, its official summary, its status, its sponsors in published order, every recorded action, every recorded vote, and the link to each official text version — assembled in a fixed canonical form described on the How this data works page.
The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.
If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
