General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to Washington County for construction of a new animal shelter.

SB 2960 appropriates $425,000 from the state General Fund to Washington County for the design, construction, and equipping of a new animal shelter. The funds are specifically allocated for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027), covering costs directly related to building the shelter. This is a straightforward funding bill with no new policy or regulations; it solely provides state money for a specific local infrastructure project. Washington County will directly receive and use these funds for the shelter construction.
