Bill > HB2269

This bill appropriates $900,000 from the state general fund to the state mine inspector for fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically designated for improving mine safety measures and updating software databases. The bill includes two key additional provisions: first, the appropriation is exempt from the standard rule that unspent appropriations lapse (expire) at the end of the fiscal year, which means the funds can be carried over and used beyond the immediate fiscal year; second, the legislature expresses its intent that $100,000 of this appropriation should be considered ongoing funding in future budget cycles. By providing dedicated funding for mine safety and technological improvements, the bill aims to enhance the state mine inspector's ability to monitor and improve safety conditions in mining operations through better data management and safety protocols.
