Bill > LB284

This bill appropriates $1 million total to the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically $500,000 for fiscal year 2025-26 and another $500,000 for fiscal year 2026-27. The funds are to be drawn from the Health and Human Services Cash Fund and are designated as state aid for a specific nonprofit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. The nonprofit must provide services including health care screening, sports competitions, educational opportunities, and leadership training for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities. The bill stipulates that these funds can only be used for state aid purposes and explicitly prohibits using the appropriation for permanent and temporary salaries or per diems for state employees. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, allowing the funds to be allocated quickly to support the specified nonprofit's programs.
