The proposed bill would amend current statutes by updating the provisions related to the lapsing of appropriations from the Automation Projects Fund. Specifically, it would insert language that exempts the $7,000,000 appropriation for the Business One Stop from lapsing until July 1, 2026, which is a change from the current exemption that lasts only until June 30, 2025. This change is aimed at ensuring that the funds remain available for the intended project beyond the current fiscal year.

Additionally, the bill would make conforming changes to the existing language in the statute, ensuring that the new provisions align with the overall structure of the law. The current language regarding the appropriated amounts would be modified to reflect these updates, including the addition of specific subsections that detail the appropriations and their exemptions from lapsing provisions. Overall, the bill seeks to provide extended financial support for the Business One Stop initiative by preventing the appropriation from lapsing prematurely.
