The bill proposes an appropriation of funds to the Department of Corrections - Division of Correction for capital improvement projects, specifically allocating $3,800,000 for a Camera Project at the Wrightsville Unit and $300,000 for a Flooring Project at the McPherson Unit. It establishes disbursement controls to ensure that no contracts or obligations exceed the available State Treasury funds, while allowing institutions to accept grants and donations to supplement these funds. The bill emphasizes compliance with existing fiscal control laws and regulations during the disbursement of appropriated funds.
Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause stating that the appropriations must be effective by July 1, 2025, to avoid potential harm to the agency's operations. This clause highlights the urgency of the funding to ensure the proper administration of essential governmental programs. The General Assembly recognizes the constitutional limitation on appropriating funds for more than one year, thus necessitating the immediate implementation of this act.
