Bill > SB117

This bill provides $1,000,000 in state funding to the Department of Education for continuing the state's online tutoring program over the biennium (two-year period) ending June 30, 2027. The bill authorizes the governor to draw the funding from unallocated treasury funds, and specifies that these funds will be non-lapsing, meaning they will not expire at the end of the fiscal year. Starting June 30, 2026, the Department of Education is required to submit annual reports on the program's use and effectiveness to various state leadership bodies, including the governor, senate and house leadership, and the chairs of education-related committees. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025. Notably, the fiscal note indicates that the current Tutor.com contract costs $1,600,000 annually, which means the appropriated amount is approximately $1,100,000 short of fully funding the program each fiscal year. The funding source will be the state's general fund, with no additional revenue expected from this appropriation.
