This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation for the Department of Education, specifically for the Medicaid Reimbursement Program, amounting to $4,000,000 for the fiscal year 2023-2024. This funding is intended to be in addition to the funds previously appropriated by Act 871 of 2023. The bill emphasizes that the disbursement of these funds must comply with existing state laws and regulations, ensuring proper fiscal control and adherence to procurement procedures.

Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause, stating that due to unforeseen circumstances, the current funding is insufficient for the Department of Education to continue providing essential services. The emergency declaration allows for the immediate implementation of the act upon passage and approval, highlighting the urgency of the situation. If the bill is not vetoed by the Governor, it will take effect after the standard veto period; if vetoed and subsequently overridden, it will take effect on the date of the override.
