Supplementals are appropriation adjustments used to increase or decrease the current-year funding authorization for a line-item appropriation, or to create a new line-item appropriation. Supplemental bills are listed on the Appropriation Bill Status Sheet and are also found in the Year-End Appropriations report
Transfers are a statutory mechanism that allows the Legislature to move existing appropriation authorization within a specific department. There are two types of transfers: Administrative and Legislative (which include Contingency Fund transfers)
There are several types of Executive Orders that may be issued by the Governor. The most common include directives that establish advisory boards or commissions, change names or practices within State agencies, and declarations of emergency, all of which are effective upon filing by the Governor (no legislative action required). Executive orders that reorganize State government by transferring a board, commission, bureau, or any other administrative entity, from one Department to another are effective 60 days after issuance if not disapproved by a majority of each house of the Legislature. Executive orders that reduce State government spending are effective only if approved by both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees within 10 days of issuance
