Overview: SB 3021, Appropriation; Geologists, Board of Registered Professional, Died In Conference, Introduced on March 14, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: This bill seeks to appropriate funds for the operations of the Board of Registered Professional Geologists. The board is responsible for regulating and licensing professional geologists in the state.

Key Provisions:
- Appropriates a specific amount of funding for the board's operations, including personnel costs, administrative expenses, and other necessary expenditures.
- Authorizes the board to use the appropriated funds to carry out its statutory duties, such as processing license applications, investigating complaints, and enforcing professional standards.
- Specifies that the appropriation is in addition to any other funds available to the board for the same purpose.

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- The Board of Registered Professional Geologists will be directly affected, as the appropriation will provide the necessary resources to fulfill its regulatory responsibilities.
- Registered professional geologists in the state will be indirectly affected, as the board's operations will ensure the continued oversight and enforcement of professional standards.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has died in conference, meaning it did not pass both chambers of the legislature and was not signed into law. The next steps would be for the bill to be reintroduced in a future legislative session if the sponsors wish to pursue the appropriation again.
