Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, distributions, purchase of equipment, planning expenses, capital improvement projects, and equipment or systems of the several departments and offices of state government

HB 2020 is a state budget bill that allocates $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2025 funds from Missouri’s Coronavirus Recovery Fund and Budget Stabilization Fund to state agencies. It directly funds specific projects, including $5.5 million for workforce grants to private colleges, $13.8 million for technology upgrades at job centers, $37 million for port infrastructure in major cities, and construction for new state buildings. The bill specifies exact funding sources and purposes for each department, such as HVAC projects for state facilities and e-Licensing system updates. This is a procedural budget measure directing existing funds, not creating new policies or affecting individual citizens directly.
