Bill > S1178

This bill appropriates additional funding to the Commission on Aging for fiscal year 2026, allocating money from two sources: the General Fund and the American Rescue Plan Fund. Specifically, the bill provides $11,500 for personnel costs, $155,000 for operating expenditures, and $450,000 for benefit payments from the General Fund, and an additional $25,000, $36,500, and $450,000 respectively from the American Rescue Plan Fund, for a total appropriation of $666,500. The American Rescue Plan Fund, established through the federal COVID-19 relief legislation, is being used to supplement the Commission's budget. The bill declares an emergency, which means the appropriation will go into effect immediately on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the Commission on Aging has the necessary resources to continue providing services to older adults in the state during the upcoming fiscal year.
