House Bill 6005, also known as Senate Bill 6005, is an appropriations bill aimed at funding various state government operations for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025. The bill outlines significant appropriations, including $225,800,000 recurring and $198,400,000 nonrecurring for Education Freedom Scholarships, contingent upon the passage of a related bill. Additionally, it allocates $210,000,000 nonrecurring for the Hurricane Helene Interest Payment Fund and the Governor's Response and Recovery Fund, as well as $240,000,000 nonrecurring for disaster recovery costs through the Department of Military. Other appropriations include $20,000,000 for the reconstruction of Hampton High School and $6,200,000 for local education agencies related to tourism development zones.

Amendments to the bill have made several changes to the appropriations, including adjustments to the amounts allocated for Education Freedom Scholarships, which now total $208,627,800 recurring and $198,367,600 nonrecurring. The amendments also specify the funding sources and include provisions for disaster relief and immigration enforcement. Notably, the language regarding the distribution of funds to local education agencies has been refined, and the bill includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, for certain sections, while others will take effect upon becoming law.
