Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to appropriations; to appropriate funds to the Department of Natural Resources; and to declare an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $500,000 from the General Fund for fiscal year 2025-26 to the Department of Natural Resources, specifically for Program 334, to issue a grant to a natural resources district with more than 250 watershed structures. The grant is intended to fund projects involving the operation, maintenance, or repair of these structures, with project eligibility contingent on the total cost exceeding $30,000 per structure. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, which allows for the quick implementation of the funding. Watershed structures are typically infrastructure like dams, levees, or water retention systems that help manage water resources, prevent flooding, and support agricultural and environmental conservation efforts.
