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 includes provisions for the administration and operation of various state branches, state aid, capital outlay, and public debt service. Notably, it appropriates $225,800,000 (recurring) and $198,400,000 (nonrecurring) 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 includes a provision allowing the Commissioner of Finance and Administration to transfer interest revenue from the Governor's Response and Recovery Fund to the Hurricane Helene Interest Payment Fund. Other significant appropriations include $240,000,000 (nonrecurring) for disaster recovery costs, $20,000,000 (nonrecurring) for the reconstruction of Hampton High School, and $6,200,000 (recurring) for local education agencies related to tourism development zones. The act emphasizes that if any provision is found invalid, it does not affect the remaining provisions, which are severable. The effective date for Section 1 is set for July 1, 2025, while other sections take effect upon becoming law.
