Purpose

HB 759 appropriates targeted, one-time state funding to support a local initiative — the Family and Community Wellness Initiative — and a related work-based learning parent program and service‑learning project administered through Forsyth County. The bill aims to expand access to basic health, social, and nutritional services and to improve economic mobility and family supports for adult learners/parents.

Key provisions

Appropriation: $100,000 in nonrecurring General Fund money for the 2025–2026 fiscal year.

Recipient / Administrator: Funds are appropriated to the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) to provide a directed grant to Forsyth County.

Authorized uses:

Purchase, operation, or support of two mobile units to deliver essential health, social services, and nutritional support to residents of multiple counties.
Establishment of a work‑based learning parent program and an associated service‑learning project for adult learners (designed to increase community engagement, employment skills, and family support).

Service area for the mobile units: Forsyth, Davidson, Davie, Guilford, Randolph, Stokes, and Yadkin Counties.

Effective date: July 1, 2025.

Who is affected

Primary recipient: Forsyth County (via a directed grant administered by OSBM).

Beneficiaries: Residents in the seven counties listed (particularly those needing mobile health, social, or nutrition services) and adult learners/parents who participate in the work‑based learning program and service‑learning project.

Local partners: County agencies, community health providers, workforce development programs, and nonprofit organizations likely to be engaged in delivering services.

Fiscal and operational impact

Total State cost: $100,000 (nonrecurring) for FY 2025–2026.

The amount is modest and intended as seed or pilot funding; actual capital and operating costs for two mobile units and program staffing will likely exceed this sum, so local matching or additional resources may be required.

Because funds are nonrecurring, sustained service beyond the pilot period would require future appropriations or local funding sources.

Procedural status / timeline

Introduced (filed) in late 2024 and placed on the legislative calendar in early 2025.

Reported/favored through committee and passed first reading (per chamber action); effective date set for July 1, 2025 if enacted.

Implementation requires OSBM to issue the directed grant to Forsyth County for use during FY 2025–2026.

Summary note: HB 759 is a narrowly targeted appropriations bill providing one‑time funding to pilot mobile service delivery and parent-focused workforce learning in a multi‑county area, with the stated goals of improving family supports, health access, and economic mobility.
