The bill appropriates $79 million from the general fund to the state construction department for the remodeling of the veterans' home of Wyoming located in Buffalo. This funding is designated for level III construction and is intended to remain available until the project is completed. The bill specifies that the appropriation is not an entitlement and any unspent funds will revert to the state upon project completion. Additionally, a portion of the funds may be used to support an existing at-will employee contract position to manage the design and construction activities related to the project.
Furthermore, the bill outlines that any federal funds received for state-run veterans' home facilities will be deposited into the general fund and will reduce the general fund appropriation by an equivalent amount. The total expenditure for the construction project is capped at $103,850,000, which includes the state appropriation, amounts authorized by the governor, previous appropriations, and any federal funds received. The act is set to take effect immediately upon fulfilling the necessary legislative procedures.
