Establishes a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for a certain appropriation for the 2025-2026 state fiscal year for community public health programs and services
This bill establishes a mandatory process for allocating $2.4 million in state funds for community public health programs during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It requires the state to create an approved plan listing every recipient organization and exact funding amount (e.g., $60,000 to Northwell Health, $50,000 to Caribbean Women's Health Association) before disbursement. The plan must be approved by the Senate President, Budget Director, and passed by a Senate roll call vote. This replaces previous funding methods by mandating transparency and legislative oversight for all grantees, including cancer centers, LGBTQ+ health providers, senior services, and community health organizations.
