Amends a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for a certain appropriation for additional grants in aid certain educational and not-for-profit institutions
This bill amends a previous resolution to update the list of recipients and funding amounts for state grants supporting schools, libraries, colleges, and arts organizations. It allows these funds to be transferred between specific agencies like the State Education Department and SUNY with approval from the Senate leadership and the budget director. The bill requires that any distribution plan be approved by the Senate leadership and then passed by a majority vote of all elected Senators before funds are spent. Finally, it adds specific grant amounts for three public libraries and the Exposure Foundation to the official list of approved recipients.
