What is an Appropriation Bill?
An Appropriation Bill is a Bill introduced in the State Legislature after the grants under article 203 have been made by the Assembly. The Bill provides for the appropriation out of the Consolidated Fund of the State of all moneys required to meet the grants made by the Assembly and the expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund of the State. No amendment can be proposed to the Bill which would vary the amount or alter the destination of any grant made or vary the amount of any expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund of the State. The decision of the person presiding on the admissibility of an amendment is final.
