This bill proposes appropriations for various state departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, with a total gross appropriation of $11,500,000. The funds are primarily allocated from the state general fund/general purpose and are intended to support a back-office grant program aimed at assisting local units of government. The bill outlines specific conditions for the use of these funds, including the establishment of a grant program that provides financial support for areas such as finance, human resources, and information technology operations.

The Department of Treasury is tasked with administering the back-office grant program, which will involve contracting with a qualified nonprofit organization for oversight and management. The bill stipulates that no more than 5% of the appropriated funds may be used for the administration of the program. Additionally, it establishes a framework for the application and compliance process, local match requirements, and the disbursement of funds. Unexpended funds from the program are designated as a work project appropriation, allowing them to remain available for future expenditures until the projects are completed.
