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 that the Department of Treasury will 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 specifies that the unexpended funds for back-office infrastructure investments will be designated as a work project appropriation, allowing any unencumbered or unallotted funds to remain available for expenditure until the completion of the projects. 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.
