Because the 2019-20 fiscal year began without a passed budget, funding has been requested from April 1 to November 30, 2019 to keep the government operating until a full budget can be developed and passed. Approval has also been requested for additional funding to meet contractual obligations for the 2018-19 fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2019.
