New South Wales act
This Act authorises a specific sum from the Consolidated Fund to finance the Legislature for the 2024–25 appropriation year, covering parliamentary operating costs, capital works and debt repayment. It takes effect on assent and includes a timing rule treating certain payments made during the appropriation year (but before assent) as charged to the appropriation. It affects Parliament’s budget managers, officials administering parliamentary funds, and recipients of parliamentary payments because it legally enables and records the year’s authorised spending.
