If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $900,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to the State Mine Inspector specifically for mine safety measures and software database acquisitions and upgrades. This appropriation would be exempt from the usual provisions regarding lapsing appropriations, ensuring that the funds remain available for their intended purpose without being subject to expiration.

Additionally, the bill expresses the legislature's intent for $100,000 of the appropriated amount to be considered ongoing funding in future years. This change aims to provide a more stable financial foundation for the State Mine Inspector's operations related to mine safety, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of safety measures and technological upgrades in the mining sector.
