This Study Bill addresses state and local finances by making specific appropriations and adjustments for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2023, including limiting the appropriation for nonpublic school pupil transportation to approximately $8.99 million and setting the appropriation for instructional support state aid to zero. It also allows for salary adjustments to be funded from various unappropriated special funds, reduces state aid to area education agencies by $17 million, and makes several technical amendments to existing laws concerning election nomination petitions, the composition of a council related to substance abuse, the classification of a specific drug, rules for carrying weapons, asbestos removal licensing, health care provider documentation, health care award fund provisions, the applicability of chapter 28E to a specific subsection, and the required content of adoption petitions when parental rights have been terminated. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the effective date and retroactive applicability of certain sections, with some taking effect upon enactment and others applying retroactively to dates in May 2022, and also directs the Code editor to make necessary renumbering and corrections to existing laws.
