Bill > SB0270

This bill appropriates $16,358,900 from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Human Services Rehabilitation Services Bureau specifically for providing grants to independent living centers (ILCs). Independent living centers are nonprofit organizations that provide support services and advocacy for people with disabilities to help them live more independently in their communities. The bill specifies that the full amount may not necessarily be allocated, but up to $16,358,900 is available for these grants. The funding will become effective on July 1, 2025, which suggests this is part of the state's budget planning for the upcoming fiscal year. By directing funds to independent living centers, the bill aims to support programs that assist individuals with disabilities in achieving greater self-sufficiency and community participation.
