This bill appropriates $1,000,000 to the Department of Education for the continuation of the state's online tutoring program, which is set to run through the biennium ending June 30, 2027. The funds are designated as non-lapsing, meaning they will not expire at the end of the fiscal year. The governor is authorized to draw from the treasury to allocate these funds. Additionally, the Department of Education is required to provide an annual report on the program's usage and effectiveness, starting June 30, 2026, to various legislative leaders and committees.

The fiscal impact of the bill indicates that there will be no revenue generated from this appropriation, and while expenditures for FY 2025 and FY 2026 are noted as $0, the costs for FY 2027 and beyond remain indeterminable. This uncertainty arises from the potential need for the Department to either continue utilizing a free service or to contract with a vendor for online tutoring services. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
