Bill > S1207

This bill appropriates additional funding to the Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Indirect Support Services for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, specifically allocating $1,744,600 from the Cooperative Welfare (General) Fund and $1,974,100 from the Cooperative Welfare (Federal) Fund for operating expenses and capital expenditures. The bill requires the department to submit several detailed reports: a comprehensive analysis of state vehicle usage and potential cost-saving strategies by December 15, 2025; an assessment of administrative burdens associated with federal grant applications by August 1, 2025; and a report outlining the potential transition of the Division of Licensing and Certification to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) by January 5, 2026. Additionally, the bill provides transfer limitation exemptions for personnel costs in the Licensing and Certification program for both fiscal years, establishes restrictions on federal funding transfers, and mandates that the agency promptly notify legislative services of significant federal funding changes. The bill also includes provisions ensuring that state funds appropriated to match federal funds can be reverted if federal funding is reduced, with an emergency clause making certain sections immediately effective upon passage.
