What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would set aside specific amounts of money from federal and nonstate grants to use during the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 years. The law allows the state to change these amounts if the actual money received from these grants is higher or lower than expected. These funds are used to pay for various state programs and services.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill makes appropriations of federal block grants, other federal moneys, and nonstate moneys. The bill appropriates moneys for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 federal fiscal years from block grants available from the federal government and provides procedures for increasing or decreasing the appropriations if the amounts of the block grants are increased or decreased from the amounts anticipated. The federal fiscal year begins October 1, and the state fiscal year begins July 1. The bill also makes standing appropriations for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 state fiscal years of other federal and nonstate grants, receipts, and moneys.
