Bill > S252

This bill appropriates $150,000 in recurring funds from the General Fund to the Office of State Budget and Management for each year of the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, specifically to provide a directed grant to the Town of Pinetops to support its fire department's staffing needs. The term "recurring funds" means these are ongoing annual allocations, not one-time money, which will help the town consistently maintain its fire department personnel. The bill specifies that these funds will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving the town a predictable source of financial support for hiring and maintaining firefighting staff. By providing a dedicated grant, the North Carolina General Assembly is demonstrating direct support for a small town's critical public safety infrastructure.
