Bill > HB07164

This bill establishes a new "emergency nonprofit assistance account" with $3 million transferred from the General Fund, contingent on a projected surplus in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The funds will be distributed by the Chief Court Administrator as grants to various nonprofit organizations during that fiscal year, with specific percentage allocations: 45.3% to LGBTQ+ service organizations, 26.7% to reproductive health care service providers, 22.1% to refugee and immigration assistance organizations, 2.1% to community and youth empowerment services, and 3.8% retained by the Judicial Department for administrative costs. The bill creates a nonlapsing account, meaning any unspent funds will not be returned to the General Fund at the end of the fiscal year, and it will take effect immediately upon passage. The goal appears to be providing targeted financial support to nonprofit organizations serving vulnerable or marginalized communities during the specified fiscal year.
