(2)
Any costs resulting from the addendum are included in the 2024–25 Governor’s Budget or another piece of legislation.

(3)

(c)
Within 30 days after making any adjustment pursuant to this provision, the Director of Finance shall report the penalties assessed to the state in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations.
