Appropriation Acts

Appropriation Acts are laws passed by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress, that authorize government agencies to spend specific amounts of money for designated purposes. They ensure that government spending is legally sanctioned and monitored, preventing unauthorized expenditure. Essentially, once the Act is enacted, it provides the official funding needed for government operations, projects, and programs for a particular period, typically a fiscal year. These Acts are vital for maintaining transparency and accountability in public financial management.
