Establishes a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for a certain appropriation for additional grants in aid to certain libraries
This Senate Resolution (R 1249) allocates $75,000 each to Roosevelt Public Library and Uniondale Public Library from a 2025-26 state appropriation for a pilot program expanding social work services in libraries. It requires that the allocation plan - which specifies the exact grantees and amounts - be approved by the temporary president of the Senate and the director of the budget, then passed by a majority vote of all elected senators in a roll call vote. The resolution was adopted on June 12, 2025, finalizing the grants for these two libraries to support social work services. This procedural resolution directly affects only the named libraries by securing their funding for the pilot program.
