• Section 5 is the part of HB2 that lists individual nonrecurring appropriations by state agency. These are sometimes called special nonrecurring funds.
• Member Directed GRO-D is a separate part of HB2 used for another set of one-time appropriations. It is tracked here as its own tab, consistent with how it is labeled in the bill. These are legislatively directed funds, sometimes called "junior" funds.
• Amount Appropriated is the new money set aside in that year's bill. Some items shown here are not new money at all — they simply extend the deadline to spend money appropriated in an earlier year, or amend the language of an earlier appropriation without adding new money. If a bill item is language-only in this way, it is labeled as a reauthorization rather than a new appropriation, and may show no new "Amount Appropriated" figure, which is expected, not an error.
• Amount Budgeted reflects the total pool of money actually available to spend, which can include money carried over from prior years. For items labeled as a reauthorization — language-only bills with no new appropriation — Amount Budgeted reflects that carried-over pool rather than new money.
• Unspent Balance is the portion of the budgeted amount that has not yet been spent (Amount Budgeted minus Amount Expended).
• Percent Spent is the share of the appropriated amount that has been expended so far.
• A small number of line items in the underlying data have missing or broken figures — shown as "FAILED," or as data not available in the Statewide Human Resources Accounting System (SHARE), the state's accounting system. These are kept visible in the tables below for transparency, but are left out of the charts and totals since they cannot be reliably counted.
• Balances for higher education institutions (e.g. individual universities and colleges) are not yet included in this dashboard; that data could not be acquired in time for this version. Items under the Higher Education Department shown here reflect that department's own appropriations, not individual institutions.

Section 5 of the General Appropriation Act includes nonrecurring funding for agency projects, pilot programs, or other one-time expenses. Most requests are for one year, but some request authority to spend a larger appropriation over several fiscal years.

Section 6 includes both supplemental and deficiency appropriations. Supplemental appropriations provide agencies with additional funds in the current fiscal year while deficiency appropriations cover the expenditures from prior fiscal years.

Section 7 includes information technology projects funded through the Department of Information Technology's project certification process. Nonfederal appropriations in this section are typically from the computer systems enhancement fund, which is seeded with an annual transfer for projects from the general fund.

Section 9 includes three-year pilot project appropriations from the government results and opportunity fund. This fund provides state agencies with a funding source for pilot projects with the goal of monitoring and evaluating the results of the project before building funding for the programs into agency operating budgets.

Section 10 includes fund transfers, typically from the general fund to restricted funds within state agencies. Sometimes, these transfers align with appropriations made from other state funds in Section 5 or other legislation or are made to funds that have statutory provisions allowing the agency to budget those funds.
