Summary of SB 3115 (General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to the City of Crystal Springs for construction of a green room at the Chautauqua Amphitheater)

Purpose and intent

  • SB 3115 would authorize a General Fund appropriation for FY2026 to the City of Crystal Springs for the construction of a green room at the Chautauqua Amphitheater. The green room is a backstage area intended to support performers and event production at the amphitheater.
  • The bill targets a specific local project, tying state funds to a named city and venue.

Key provisions

  • Source of funds: General Fund.
  • Recipient: City of Crystal Springs.
  • Project funded: Construction of a green room at the Chautauqua Amphitheater.
  • Fiscal year: FY2026 (funds would be expected to support activities during the 2026 fiscal year if enacted).
  • Amount: The exact appropriation amount is not provided in the available information; the bill would specify the dollar amount to be appropriated in the text.
  • Conditions and use: Not specified in the provided materials beyond the project purpose; typical appropriation language would designate funds for construction related to the green room, but no additional restrictions are listed here.

Affected parties

  • Primary beneficiary: City of Crystal Springs, for the Chautauqua Amphitheater project.
  • Local arts and entertainment ecosystem: The construction could enhance performance infrastructure, potentially benefiting local performers, audiences, and event programming.
  • Taxpayers and state budget: The appropriation would involve General Fund resources and would be subject to standard budgetary processes and oversight if enacted.

Procedural and timeline details

  • Introduction: February 20, 2025.
  • Initial action: Referred to the Appropriations Committee on February 20, 2025.
  • Status: Died in Committee on February 26, 2025, meaning it did not advance to the full chamber for consideration.
  • Implication of status: As introduced and then failed in committee, the bill did not become law. A future similar measure would need to be reintroduced and successfully navigate the appropriations process.

Significance and context

  • Purpose-driven, location-specific appropriation bills like SB 3115 aim to address infrastructure for cultural and community facilities. If reintroduced and enacted, the bill would provide designated state funds for a particular city project, subject to the usual budgetary and reporting requirements.
  • Died in committee: There is no enacted funding or project authorization from this bill in current law. A future proposal could differ in amount, conditions, or project scope.
