Bill > HB3066

This bill appropriates $180,135 from the General Fund to the Department of Corrections (DOC) for the advanced esthetics program at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, specifically for the biennium (two-year period) beginning July 1, 2025. The funding is intended to support a vocational training program that will teach advanced esthetics skills to adults in custody at the facility, with the goal of providing inmates with professional skills that could help them secure employment after release. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately on July 1, 2025, in order to quickly implement the program and address what legislators likely view as an urgent need for vocational training in the correctional system. By specifically designating the funds "in addition to and not in lieu of any other appropriation," the bill ensures that this funding is supplemental and will not replace existing correctional program budgets.
