Bill B 115-38 proposes to deappropriate the sum of $42,000 from the funds of the Office of Senator Telo T. Taitague and reappropriate the same amount to the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Park Police Section. The introduced date is November 27, 2025. The status of the bill is not provided in the information available.

Note: The bill’s title uses the term “FORTY-TVVO THOUSAND,” which appears to be a typographical error for “FORTY-TWO THOUSAND.”

Key Provisions

  • Reappropriation: Redirect the same $42,000 to the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Park Police Section.
  • Effective date and detailed allocation: Not specified in the provided text; the bill would typically specify when the transfer takes effect and how the funds may be used within the Park Police Section if enacted.

Financial Impact

  • Net budget effect: Zero net change in total authorization (a transfer within government agencies).
  • Allocation shift: Moves resources from a legislative office to a public safety/park operations function.
  • Potential uses within Park Police: Not detailed in the bill text; the funds would be available for whatever purposes the Park Police Section can lawfully fund under applicable budget rules.

Affected Parties

  • Office of Senator Telo T. Taitague: Loses $42,000 in funds.
  • Department of Parks and Recreation – Park Police Section: Gains $42,000 in funds.

Practical Implications

  • Public safety and park operations: If enacted, the Park Police Section could benefit from additional resources, potentially impacting staffing, equipment, training, or routines funded by this transfer.
  • Legislative office operations: A reduction in discretionary funds for the senator’s office could affect operational activities unless offset by other budget adjustments.
