Appropriation (COVID-19) Act 2020
LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Appropriation Bill 2020
This bill authorises funding for Queensland Government departments. It approves $1.114 billion in supplementary funding for unexpected costs in 2019-20, and provides $28.6 billion in additional interim funding for 2020-21 because the regular state budget was postponed due to the election.
Appropriation Bill 2022
This bill authorises the Queensland Government to spend $69.86 billion in the 2022-23 financial year. It is the legal mechanism that allows government departments to operate and deliver services to Queenslanders.
Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2021
This bill formally authorises $447.5 million in additional government spending that occurred during the 2020-21 financial year. Under Queensland's Constitution, all government expenditure must be approved by Parliament, so this supplementary appropriation bill retrospectively authorises spending that exceeded original budget allocations.
