Amends a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for a certain appropriation for additional grants in aid to certain schools, libraries and not-for-profit institutions
Senate Resolution 1235 amends a 2023 resolution (R1408) to adjust how $25,000 in existing state funds are distributed to school districts, public libraries, colleges, and arts nonprofits. It allows reallocation of these funds between agencies like SUNY, CUNY, and the New York State Council on the Arts, provided a detailed plan of recipients and amounts is approved by the Senate temporary president, budget director, and a majority of senators via roll call vote. The resolution modifies the distribution process for funds originally appropriated in 2023 and reappropriated in 2025, without changing the total funding amount. This is a procedural update to fund allocation, not a new policy.
