Supplementing and amending appropriations to Department of Economic Development

This bill reallocates $41.1 million in unspent funds from the Department of Economic Development's existing "Site-Ready Projects, SEED, Vo-Tech and Workforce Investments" budget line to fund current fiscal year 2025 activities. It directs any remaining unexpended balance from the 2025 appropriation to continue funding these programs during fiscal year 2026. The bill directly affects the Department of Economic Development's workforce development and economic growth initiatives by redirecting existing unappropriated surplus funds. It does not create new funding but modifies how previously allocated money is spent.
