The bill proposes appropriations for various state departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, with a total gross appropriation of $10,000,000. This funding is specifically allocated for the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct avian influenza testing, particularly for H5N1. The bill outlines that the funds will be used for testing individuals exposed to infected birds, sequencing and subtyping positive tests, and disseminating data to the public to monitor the spread of the virus.

Additionally, the bill establishes that any unexpended funds for the avian influenza testing will be designated as a work project appropriation, allowing them to remain available for expenditure until the project is completed, which is tentatively set for September 30, 2029. The bill emphasizes the importance of these funds in preventing complications and the spread of the virus, ensuring that the state is prepared to respond effectively to potential health threats.
