This act outlines specific appropriations for salaries, wages, travel expenses, contractual services, and other operational costs necessary for the agencies to fulfill their duties. Notably, it includes a state appropriation of $15,000,000 for workforce development under the Department of Community and Economic Development.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions regarding the lapsing of unused funds, stating that any unexpended, uncommitted, or unencumbered appropriations as of June 30, 2026, will automatically lapse unless otherwise specified by law. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, depending on which is later.
