The bill outlines that all funds credited to this revolving fund are appropriated for the specified purpose and will be budgeted and expended by the State Regents. Expenditures will be made through warrants issued by the State Treasurer, following the approval process set by law.
Additionally, the bill appropriates $418,986,272 from the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, specifically for the equitable distribution of funds to Oklahoma's 1890 land-grant institutions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
