House Bill No. [insert bill number] amends Section 5 of Chapter 763, Laws of 2023, to authorize reappropriations for capital improvement projects. The bill introduces a new subsection (11) that specifies the appropriations for the biennium ending June 30, 2027, are reappropriated for the purposes of the original appropriation. This change replaces the previous language that indicated the appropriations would remain until the funds were fully expended or the project was completed.

Additionally, the bill establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval, ensuring that the reappropriation provisions can be implemented without delay. This legislative action aims to streamline the funding process for ongoing capital improvement projects in Montana.
