SB 3201 Summary

Status: Died In Committee

Introduction: SB 3201 proposes a General Fund appropriation in FY2026 to the Town of Coffeeville for the construction of a splash pad. The bill was introduced on February 26, 2025 and, on the same day, referred to Appropriations and subsequently died in committee.

Purpose and Intent

  • To provide state financial support from the General Fund for a municipal project in Coffeeville.
  • Specifically aims to fund the construction of a splash pad, a recreational facility intended to serve residents and visitors with a water-play amenity.

What the Bill Would Do

  • Authorize an appropriation from the General Fund for FY2026 to the Town of Coffeeville to cover costs associated with constructing a splash pad.
  • The bill text (not provided here) would ordinarily specify the exact appropriation amount, any conditions or matching requirements, project milestones, reporting obligations, and potential administrative provisions. Those details are not included in the available information.

Fiscal Implications

  • Creation of a General Fund expenditure earmarked for Coffeeville’s splash pad project in FY2026.
  • The bill would affect the state budget by allocating funds to a local government project; the absence of a published dollar amount in the summary means the precise fiscal impact is not specified here.
  • If enacted, the project would progress only with the availability of appropriated funds and any accompanying statutory conditions.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary beneficiary: Town of Coffeeville (local government and residents).
  • Secondary beneficiaries: Local workers, contractors, and businesses involved in the splash pad construction and related services.
  • Community impact: Potential enhancement of local recreation options, tourism appeal, and quality of place, subject to the availability of the appropriation and project completion.

  • 2025-02-26: Referred to Appropriations.

Significant Notes

  • The bill did not advance beyond committee in the current session. If similar proposals are reintroduced, they would undergo the standard legislative process, including committee review, potential amendments, and floor votes.
  • Without the full text, key details such as the exact funding amount, conditions, and reporting requirements remain unknown.
