This bill amends Section 455A.18 of the Iowa Code to address appropriations to the Iowa Resources Enhancement and Protection (REAP) fund. Currently, the law stipulates that $20 million is appropriated annually from the general fund to the REAP fund for each fiscal year until June 30, 2028. The bill removes the expiration date of this annual appropriation, allowing for the continued funding of the REAP fund beyond the previously established deadline.

Additionally, the bill maintains a provision that if lottery funds are appropriated to the REAP fund in any fiscal year, the amount appropriated from the general fund will be reduced by the amount received from the lottery. This ensures that the total funding for the REAP fund remains consistent, regardless of the source of the appropriations.
