- Title: General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Scott County for the acquisition of the county development site
- Status: Died In Committee
- Introduced: February 26, 2025
- Classification/Subject: Appropriations
- Legislative Action: On 2025-02-26, referred to Appropriations and subsequently died in committee
Purpose and intent
- The bill would provide an appropriation from the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026 to Scott County to acquire a site designated as the county development site. The stated aim is to enable the county to obtain land for development-related uses, potentially to support economic development, public facilities, or long-term county infrastructure plans.
Key provisions (as proposed)
- Funding source: General Fund.
- Fiscal year: FY2026.
- Recipient: Scott County.
- Purpose: Acquisition of the county development site.
- Specific dollar amount, conditions, or matching requirements: Not provided in the available information. The exact grant/appropriation level, accompanying conditions, or reporting requirements are not specified here.
Who would be affected
- Primary beneficiary: Scott County, which would receive the funds to purchase the development site.
- Potential downstream effects: If the acquisition proceeds, the county could pursue redevelopment, economic development, or public-use projects related to the site. The exact impact would depend on how the site is subsequently developed, financed, and governed.
Fiscal and procedural considerations
- Fiscal impact: The bill would authorize a General Fund expenditure in FY2026. The absence of a stated dollar amount makes it difficult to quantify the impact on the state budget or required offsets.
- Legislative process: Introduced and referred to Appropriations on February 26, 2025. The bill died in committee on the same day, meaning it did not advance to floor consideration or become law in its current form.
Status and potential future action
- Status: Died in committee; no further action reported.
- Possibility for reintroduction: Could be reintroduced in a future session (potentially with a specified appropriation amount, terms, or revised scope) if sponsors choose to pursue the measure again.
