This bill proposes appropriations for various state departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, with a total gross appropriation of $3,500,000. The funds are allocated from the state general fund/general purpose and are intended to support back-office infrastructure investments. The bill outlines specific conditions for the appropriations, including the requirement for the Department of Treasury to contract with a qualified accounting firm to establish a statewide talent acquisition and training program aimed at enhancing local government capabilities in finance, human resources, and information technology.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended funds for the back-office infrastructure investments will be designated as a work project appropriation, allowing them to remain available for expenditure until the projects are completed. The contract with the accounting firm will cover actual expenses plus a 15% indirect administration cost, and the project is expected to be completed by September 30, 2029. The bill emphasizes the importance of creating a skilled workforce for local governments and establishes guidelines for the qualifications of the accounting firm involved in the project.
