Sec. 1b.

(1) This act shall be read in conjunction with the annual appropriation act appropriating funds for the department for each fiscal year. The annual appropriation act shall be considered as a time-limited addendum to this act.

(2) A program created in or authorized under this act is subject to the annual appropriation of funds. The inclusion of a program in this act does not create an entitlement to that program, and any state department responsible for administering a program under this act is not required to operate that program unless the legislature appropriates funds for that program.
