Bill > SF3684

This bill modifies the Mary C. Murphy Library Construction Grants Program by changing the funding requirements for grant applicants, increasing the maximum grant amount for renovation or construction projects, and appropriating $10,000,000 from bond proceeds for the program. Specifically, it changes the requirement for grant applicants to match grant funds with "local" funds to "nonstate" funds, meaning funds from sources other than the state government, and increases the maximum grant amount for renovating, expanding, or constructing a library building from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, or 50 percent of the project costs, whichever is less. The bill also authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds up to $10,000,000 to fund these grants, with the appropriation taking effect immediately upon enactment and the changes to the grant matching and maximum amounts becoming effective for grants awarded after June 30, 2026.
