It affects the Treasurer (who may issue the money), the listed departments and services (which receive the funds), and taxpayers (who supply the Fund); it matters because it lets government agencies continue operations pending final appropriation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-3-1973-74","history":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-3-1973-74/history","analysis":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-3-1973-74/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-3-1973-74/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-3-1973-74/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-3-1973-74/documents"}}
