Notes

  • The explicit dollar amount ($100) and lack of program-level detail suggest this may be a placeholder or preliminary appropriation within a broader budget package. Additional line-items, programs, and provisos may be added in later amendments or in a comprehensive appropriations act.
  • Readers should watch for subsequent amendments or a fuller fiscal note in committee reports to understand any intended programmatic funding adjustments for MDARD (e.g., grants, salaries, operating expenses).
