Establishes a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for a certain appropriation for the 2025-2026 state fiscal year for additional grants in aid for education

Senate Resolution 1248 establishes the allocation plan for $1.5 million in state funds for education and arts grants during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It requires an itemized list of grantees (including school districts, public libraries, colleges, and non-profits) and specific amounts to be approved by the Senate's temporary president and budget director, then passed by a majority vote in the Senate. The resolution specifies grants such as $1 million each for four school districts (e.g., Hendrick Hudson, New Rochelle), $65,000 for the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center, and smaller amounts for organizations like the Dominican Cultural Association of Yonkers ($30,000). This resolution serves as the binding mechanism for distributing the funds, ensuring transparency and legislative oversight before expenditures.
