The bill proposes appropriations for various state departments, agencies, and branches of government for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, with a total gross appropriation of $75,000,000. This funding is allocated to support the Department of State Police and includes provisions for storm disaster relief grants. The bill outlines that these funds will be used to assist local units of government in areas affected by storm damage, providing support for individual residents, businesses, and communities in securing disaster assistance.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the appropriated funds must be utilized for various purposes, including state match funding for federal assistance, emergency actions for public safety, labor assistance for disaster recovery, energy assistance, and repair of damaged infrastructure. Any remaining funds after initial allocations will be used for state-owned land damage and reimbursement for third-party recovery efforts. The unexpended funds are designated as a work project appropriation, allowing them to remain available for expenditure until the project is completed, with a tentative completion date set for September 30, 2027.
