SB 9 
 
AN ACT IMPLEMENTING THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET 
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GENERAL GOVERNMENT. 
 
SUMMARY: 
The bill makes several changes to implement the Revised FY 23 
budget, JF'ed out of the Appropriations Committee on 4/7/22. The 
changes are as follows: 
Sections 1 and 2 reduce the motor vehicle mill rate cap from 45 to 
34.46 and make corresponding changes to the mill rate cap 
reimbursement grant formula.  
Section 3 requires any that any over-collection of recoveries for the 
State Employees Retirement System (SERS) funds must be deposited to 
the State Employees Retirement Fund (SERF).  Currently, any over-
collection of recoveries is deposited to the General Fund as revenue, 
while under-collections result in a reduced contribution to SERS.  
Section 4 allows state agencies to designate agency electric vehicle 
charging stations as either (1) available for public use; (2) for the sole use 
of state employees; or (3) for a combination of both state employees and 
the public. It further requires state agencies to collect fees on non-state 
vehicles for such use and to deposit the revenue into the fund from 
which the expenses for installing the relevant EV infrastructure were 
paid. 
Section 5 allows state agencies’ expenditures that are associated with 
activities authorized under PA 21-1 JSS, AAC Responsible and Equitable 
Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis, to be paid out of Social Equity and 
Innovation Fund. The Social Equity and Innovation Fund, created under 
PA 21-1 JSS, is a separate, non-lapsing fund that is funded by certain  2022SB-00009-R000642-BA.DOCX
