The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating $30,723,600 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2027 to the State Treasurer for distribution to the City of Douglas. This funding is intended to serve as the state match for the Douglas port of entry. The bill specifies that these appropriated funds may only be utilized if the U.S. General Services Administration awards $678,000,000 for the Douglas port of entry project.
In addition to the appropriation, the bill includes new language that clarifies the conditions under which the funds can be expended, ensuring that the state match is contingent upon the federal award. The bill will become effective on the general effective date, thereby updating the current legal framework governing state appropriations for infrastructure projects.
