Amends a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for a certain appropriation for additional grants in aid for certain educational and not-for-profit institutions
This bill updates a previous resolution to reappropriate state funds for the 2026 fiscal year to support school districts, public libraries, colleges, and arts organizations. It allows these funds to be distributed according to a specific plan that lists each recipient and their share, which must be approved by the Senate president and the budget director. The plan must then be ratified by a majority vote of the entire Senate before the money can be spent. Additionally, the bill permits transferring these funds between relevant agencies like the State Education Department and the City University of New York as needed.
