Bill > HF1039

This bill appropriates funds from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF) and the Technology Reinvestment Fund to various state departments and agencies for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The bill allocates significant funding across multiple sectors, including infrastructure improvements, water quality initiatives, technology upgrades, and facility renovations. Key appropriations include $5 million for state historical building maintenance, $8.2 million for water quality initiatives in watersheds, $10 million for renewable fuel infrastructure, and $15 million for an Iowa Law Enforcement Academy driving training facility. The bill also modifies existing laws regarding fund management, specifically changing how unencumbered funds from certain accounts will be handled, generally directing them to the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement that counties will be responsible for providing furnishings for district court judicial officers, referees, and their staff, effectively shifting this financial responsibility from the state to local governments. The appropriations are designed to support various state infrastructure, technology, and operational needs, with most funds allocated for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025.
