PUBLIC PROJECT FUND APPROPRIATIONS

HB 41 transfers $6.25 million to the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund for state matching of federal water infrastructure projects, $2 million to the Local Government Planning Fund for community planning initiatives, and $5 million to the Cultural Affairs Facilities Infrastructure Fund for maintaining museums and historic sites. These funds are designated for use in fiscal year 2026 and beyond, with unspent balances remaining in the recipient funds rather than returning to the Public Project Revolving Fund. The bill directly affects state water projects, local government planning efforts, and cultural facility maintenance by providing dedicated funding streams. It makes no new policy changes but allocates existing funds from one state revolving fund to three specific purpose-driven funds.
