Funds moved to child support staff

The law shifts $1,810,238 in the Child Support Enforcement Fund (Fund 5094) from Current Expenses to Personal Services and Employee Benefits for FY 2026 (Org 0511). Total program funding stays the same; the money moves from supplies to salaries and benefits. The funds are for the year ending June 30, 2026, and the law takes effect on passage. This helps keep child support offices staffed to find and collect payments. It does not create a new cash payment for families.
