APPROPRIATIONS/SUPPLEML: Makes supplemental appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (Items #18, 21, and 23)

This bill provides additional funding for the 2024-2025 fiscal year to support specific state agencies and programs. It allocates money to the Secretary of State to cover costs associated with changing a local election to a statewide vote in March 2025. The legislation also directs funds to local public schools to help purchase instructional materials, including textbooks and digital resources, as well as supplies for vocational agriculture and agribusiness students. These appropriations are drawn from the State General Fund and statutory dedications from the Overcollections Fund, with the school funding option allowing local districts to match the provided dollars.
