Bill > S1160

This bill appropriates funds to the Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Indirect Support Services for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, allocating a total of $4,923,700 from both Cooperative Welfare (General) and Cooperative Welfare (Federal) Funds. The bill requires the department to submit two specific reports: one on state vehicle usage and strategies to maximize efficiency and minimize costs by December 15, 2025, and another outlining the steps to transition the Division of Licensing and Certification to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) by January 5, 2026. The bill includes provisions for transfer limitations, allowing the Licensing and Certification program to transfer personnel costs for both fiscal years. Additionally, it establishes federal funding restrictions, stipulating that appropriations contingent on federal funding cannot be automatically replaced by state funds if federal support is reduced or eliminated without legislative approval. The bill requires the agency to notify the Legislative Services Office of significant federal funding changes and to revert state funds used as matching funds if federal funds are reduced. An emergency clause is included, with Section 7 taking effect immediately upon passage and Sections 1-6 becoming effective on July 1, 2025.
