The bill also establishes conditions for the use of appropriated funds from the Federal Grant Fund, limiting the use of these funds for pre-employment transition services to no more than seventeen percent.

The bill includes various conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the appropriations and declares an emergency for its immediate effect upon passage, with specific sections taking effect on July 1, 2025.
