SB 76 — Funds for the Franklinton Center (Summary)

Short title: Directed grant to the Franklinton Center at Bricks, Inc.

Introduced: January 15, 2025
Status (as provided): Passed first reading
Subject areas: Appropriations; budgeting; grants to nonprofit/corporate entities; municipalities; Franklin County / Franklinton

Main purpose and intent

SB 76 authorizes a one-time, nonrecurring state grant to support the operations and capital needs of the Franklinton Center at Bricks, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Franklinton, Franklin County. The bill directs state funds to help the Center with operating expenses and capital improvements.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: $300,000 (three hundred thousand dollars).
  • Source: General Fund (state).
  • Recipient: Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) — funds are appropriated to OSBM to provide a directed grant to the Franklinton Center at Bricks, Inc.
  • Use: Operating expenses and capital improvements for the Franklinton Center at Bricks, Inc.
  • Nature of funds: Nonrecurring (one-time) for the 2025–2026 fiscal year.
  • Effective date: The act becomes effective July 1, 2025 (per bill text).

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Franklinton Center at Bricks, Inc. (local nonprofit in the Town of Franklinton, Franklin County).
  • State fiscal impact: One-time reduction to the General Fund of $300,000 in FY 2025–26.
  • Administrative: OSBM is responsible for receiving the appropriation and disbursing the directed grant to the named nonprofit.
  • Local/community: Individuals and programs served by the Franklinton Center may benefit from improved operations and capital assets funded by the grant.

Implementation and timeline notes

  • Funds are designated for the 2025–2026 fiscal year and are nonrecurring (not ongoing).
  • The grant is “directed” — i.e., the appropriation names the recipient and purpose rather than creating a competitive or formula program.
  • The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, if enacted.
  • Because it is an appropriation, final availability of funds depends on the bill being enacted (passage and any required executive approval). Administrative distribution will be handled by OSBM according to applicable state grant and procurement rules.

Fiscal impact

  • Direct and explicit: $300,000 one-time from the General Fund in FY 2025–26.
  • No ongoing (recurring) state cost is specified in the bill text.

If you want, I can:
- Draft suggested legislative findings or reporting requirements to accompany this appropriation (e.g., performance metrics, use-of-funds reporting to the legislature), or
- Prepare a short memo summarizing likely programmatic uses the Franklinton Center might pursue with this grant (based on typical nonprofit capital/operating needs).
