2023 aid penalty forgiveness provided to the city of Stewart, and money appropriated.

This bill forgives a penalty that withheld the City of Stewart's 2023 local government aid payment due to late financial reporting. It requires the state auditor to certify receipt of Stewart's 2022 financial report by June 1, 2025, triggering a $87,501.50 payment from the state general fund to Stewart by June 30, 2025. The payment is a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2025, directly affecting only the City of Stewart's 2023 aid eligibility.
