Summary — SB 3065

Title: General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to the City of West Point for street paving.
Classification: Appropriations (local)
Introduced / Received by Secretary of the Senate: April 30, 2025
Status noted in file: Died In Committee
Companion bill: HB 5691

Purpose and intent

SB 3065 is a narrowly focused appropriation bill that would provide a state General Fund appropriation in fiscal year 2026 to the City of West Point for street paving. The stated intent is to fund local roadway / paving projects in West Point using a one‑time state appropriation in FY2026.

Key provisions

  • Authorizes an appropriation from the state General Fund for FY2026 specifically to the City of West Point for street paving.
  • The bill text available in the file does not show a specific dollar amount, detailed spending plan, or eligibility/oversight conditions. (No line‑item amount or provisos are included in the provided document content.)

Fiscal impact

  • Because no dollar amount is specified in the document provided, the direct fiscal impact on the state General Fund cannot be determined from the available text.
  • If enacted, the appropriation would reduce the state General Fund balance by the authorized amount and increase the City of West Point’s available funding for pavement projects in FY2026.

Who would be affected

  • City of West Point: would receive the appropriation and be authorized to spend it on street paving.
  • West Point residents and local businesses: potential benefits from improved streets and related economic effects.
  • State General Fund: appropriation would require use of state resources in FY2026.
  • Local contractors and suppliers engaged in paving work could see increased local contracting opportunities.

Legislative history and procedural status (summary of recorded actions)

There are conflicting records in the provided history. Below is a consolidated timeline of recorded actions:

  • 2025-02-18: Referred to Appropriations
  • 2025-02-26: Recorded as “Died In Committee” (this entry predates later activity)
  • 2025-04-30: Received by the Secretary of the Senate
  • 2025-05-01: Read first time; Referred to Local Government; Transmitted to the Governor (note: order of these entries is inconsistent)
  • 2025-05-15 to 2025-05-20: Considered in public hearings; Left pending; Committee reported favorably as substituted; Recommended for local & uncontested calendar; Committee report printed
  • 2025-05-21: Recommendations filed with the Senate
  • 2025-05-25: Placed on local & uncontested calendar; Read 2nd & 3rd times; Three‑day rule suspended; Passed (record votes and engrossment reported); Received from the Senate

Given the contradictory entries (an early “Died In Committee” vs. later entries showing committee reporting and passage), the bill’s final disposition is unclear from this file. The header lists the status as “Died In Committee,” but later action lines show committee approval and passage on May 25, 2025.

  • HB 5691 — listed as a companion bill; check HB 5691 for parallel or duplicate text and any differing amounts or conditions.

Notes and recommended next steps

  • The bill text provided does not include the appropriation amount or statutory language — consult the official bill text on the legislature’s website for the precise language and any provisos.
  • Because of conflicting procedural entries, verify current status (enacted, vetoed, died, or pending) and any appropriation amount using the legislature’s official bill tracking system or the Secretary of the Senate/House records.
  • If tracking fiscal implications, obtain the fiscal note (if any) and any agency or municipal project plan tied to the appropriation.
