The bill proposes an appropriation of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) from the general fund to the cultural affairs department. This funding is designated for the operation of rural libraries during the fiscal year 2027.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unspent funds remaining at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund, ensuring that the allocation is managed responsibly and that unused funds are returned to the state’s budget.
