A SENATE RESOLUTION TO CONGRATULATE HCS SCHOLARS ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL FOR WINNING THE 2026 CLASS 1A FAFSA FIRST CHALLENGE AND TO COMMEND THE SCHOOL FOR ITS MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

This South Carolina bill appropriates supplemental funds for fiscal year 2026-2027, using leftover nonrecurring revenue from the previous year's budget to finance specific local and state projects. The legislation directs the State Treasurer to disburse these funds by September 30, 2026, following a strict priority order where earlier items must be fully funded before later ones receive money. Direct recipients include various counties, cities, school districts, fire departments, and state agencies for purposes such as infrastructure repairs, public safety equipment, historical preservation, and educational programs. The bill requires that non-governmental recipients verify their registration with the Secretary of State's office before receiving funds, and it allows unspent money to be carried over to future fiscal years for the same intended uses.
