The funds are designated for a ski resort infrastructure grant aimed at addressing building and infrastructure repairs due to damage from snow and rain, as well as deferred maintenance and equipment purchases.

This appropriation is classified as a one-time funding item.

Additionally, the bill declares itself an emergency measure, indicating the urgency of the funding for the ski resort infrastructure. This designation emphasizes the immediate need for repairs and improvements to ensure the continued operation and safety of ski resorts in the state.
