This bill, introduced by Representative McFarland, aims to appropriate funds and implement reductions for various designated agencies for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025. It specifies the allocation of funds from the State General Fund and Statutory Dedications from the Overcollections Fund for specific purposes. Notably, it includes an appropriation of $3,281,010 to the Department of State for changing the March 29, 2025 local election to a statewide election, as well as $200,000 to the Department of Education for the Non-Federal Support Program, which will assist local public schools in purchasing instructional materials and supplies for vocational agriculture courses.
The bill outlines the effective date of the appropriations, stating that it will become effective upon the governor's signature or after the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature. If the bill is vetoed and later approved by the legislature, it will take effect the day after such approval.
