Senate Bill 6005 is an appropriations act that allocates funds for the state government for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025. The bill outlines various appropriations for the administration, operation, and maintenance of state departments, institutions, and agencies, as well as for state aid, capital outlay, public debt service, and emergency contingencies. Notably, the bill includes a recurring appropriation of $225,800,000 and a nonrecurring appropriation of $198,400,000 specifically for the implementation of 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, along with other appropriations for disaster relief and educational incentives.

The bill also authorizes the Commissioner of Finance and Administration to make necessary adjustments to federal aid and departmental revenue and allows for the transfer of interest revenue between funds. Other specific appropriations include $240,000,000 for disaster recovery costs, $20,000,000 for the reconstruction of Hampton High School, and $6,200,000 for local education agencies related to tourism development. The act includes a severability clause to ensure that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. The effective date for Section 1 is set for July 1, 2025, while other sections take effect upon becoming law.
