Establishes a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for the 2024-25 state fiscal year for additional grants in aid to certain educational and not-for-profit institutions
This bill establishes a specific distribution plan for additional state grants in the 2024-25 fiscal year to support various educational and not-for-profit institutions. It directly affects school districts, public libraries, colleges, universities, and arts organizations by listing specific recipients and the exact dollar amounts each will receive. The legislation requires that these funds be allocated according to a plan approved by the Senate leadership and the budget director, which must then be ratified by a majority vote of the Senate. The text includes a detailed itemized list of dozens of grantees, ranging from local libraries and school districts to educational programming organizations, with awards varying from a few thousand to over sixty thousand dollars.
