An Act To Provide Relief To Federal Employees Affected By A Federal Shutdown

This bill amendment modifies a previous proposal to assist federal employees impacted by a government shutdown by adjusting how funding is handled. It removes emergency language and shifts the $250,000 appropriation from the 2023-24 fiscal year to the 2024-25 fiscal year. The change also directs the state legislature to address any future funding needs for the loan guarantee program in the next legislative session rather than the current one. Ultimately, the amendment alters the timing and procedural requirements for releasing funds without changing the total amount available.
