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 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 in enhancing their finance, human resources, and information technology operations. The bill outlines specific uses for the grant funds, including addressing complex needs, investing in critical operations, improving recruitment and retention, and conducting cybersecurity testing.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Treasury contract with a qualified nonprofit organization to administer the back-office grant program, ensuring oversight and compliance. It specifies that no more than 5% of the appropriated funds may be used for the administration of the program. The unexpended funds are designated as a work project appropriation, allowing them to remain available for expenditure until the projects are completed, with a tentative completion date set for September 30, 2029.
