Summary of Bill R 1245

Overview

Bill R 1245 is a resolution, adopted on June 12, 2025, introduced to establish a plan that sets forth an itemized list of grantees for a specific appropriation targeting community safety and restorative justice programs for the 2025-2026 state fiscal year. The primary sponsor is Andrea Stewart-Cousins.

Purpose and Intent

  • To formalize a plan that identifies which organizations or entities will receive funding from a designated appropriation during the 2025-2026 state fiscal year.
  • To ensure transparency and clarity in how the available funds for community safety and restorative justice programs are allocated.

Key Provisions (as stated)

  • Establishment of a plan that includes an itemized list of grantees. The plan specifies which grantees will receive funds from a particular appropriation for 2025-2026.
  • The focus of the appropriation and the plan is on community safety and restorative justice programs.
  • The bill is a resolution, meaning it expresses the legislature’s plan or guidance rather than enacting new law or creating mandated statutory requirements.

Note: The available information does not provide details on eligibility criteria, grant amounts, selection processes, reporting requirements, or oversight mechanisms. The summary reflects the provisions explicitly identified in the provided bill description.

Affected Parties and Entities

  • Potential grant recipients: Organizations or entities that implement community safety and restorative justice programs and could receive funds from the specified appropriation.
  • State agencies or offices responsible for administering the appropriation and compiling the itemized list of grantees.
  • Community safety and restorative justice program stakeholders who would be affected by funding decisions and program implementations.

Procedural Context and Timeline

  • Introduced: June 12, 2025.
  • Status: ADOPTED (as of June 12, 2025).
  • Effect: As a resolution, the adoption represents the legislature’s plan or guidance for the allocation of the 2025-2026 appropriation rather than creating enforceable statutory requirements. It may influence subsequent budgetary actions, grant allocations, and reporting for the fiscal year 2025-2026.

Sponsor

  • Primary Sponsor: Andrea Stewart-Cousins.

Potential Impact and Considerations

  • Increases transparency by requiring an itemized list of grantees for the targeted appropriation.
  • Provides clear guidance for how funds for community safety and restorative justice programs will be distributed during the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
  • Depending on subsequent budget or implementing actions, could affect which organizations access funding and how outcomes are reported.
  • As a resolution, implementation details (eligibility, amounts, and reporting) would typically be carried out through separate budgets, agency actions, or future legislative or administrative decisions.

Next Steps (if applicable)

  • Agencies responsible for administering the appropriation would publish or finalize the itemized list of grantees in accordance with the adopted plan.
  • Grantees and stakeholders should monitor for any implementing guidelines, reporting requirements, or additional criteria that accompany the plan.
  • Future budget actions could reference or build upon this adopted plan for ongoing or revised funding in subsequent years.
