Bill > HB5504

This bill appropriates $200 for community colleges for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. * **Community College Operations:** $200 is appropriated from the State School Aid Fund for community college operations. This is a significant reduction from previous appropriations, with the bill text showing a large deletion of specific allocations to individual community colleges and a general reduction in the overall appropriation. * **Funding Sources:** The funding for community colleges comes from $100 in Other State Restricted Revenues and $100 from State General Fund/General Purpose money. The bill also amends sections of the State School Aid Act of 1979 to reflect the updated fiscal year and appropriation amounts. Payments are to be distributed in 11 monthly installments beginning October 16, 2024.
