Status: Governor signed (May 31, 2025)
Introduced: April 15, 2025
Primary sponsors: Shannon Bird; Judy Amabile; Jeff Bridges; Emily Sirota

Purpose / Intent

SB 25‑295 transfers money that was designated under “Proposition KK” into the state’s ARPA Cash Fund. The bill reallocates previously designated state revenue (from the Proposition KK allocation) to be held in or used through the ARPA Cash Fund, consolidating those dollars for purposes determined under the ARPA fund structure or state budgetary priorities.

Key provisions

  • Directs the transfer of funds associated with Proposition KK into the ARPA Cash Fund.
  • Establishes the legal authority for the transfer and any associated bookkeeping or cash‑management steps required for the move.
  • Provides implementing direction (administrative steps) for affected state agencies and the state treasurer to effectuate the transfer.

(Note: the provided document does not include the bill text, dollar amounts, or detailed timing/conditions for the transfer. Those specifics are in the enrolled bill text and implementing materials.)

Who is affected

  • Programs, projects, or accounts originally intended to receive revenue under Proposition KK — their available funding may be reduced, delayed, or reallocated depending on how the transferred dollars are used.
  • State fiscal officers (Treasurer, Office of State Planning and Budgeting) and agencies administering funds previously tied to Proposition KK and those administering ARPA funds — they will handle accounting and implement any new spending directives.
  • Potential indirect impacts on local governments or service providers if they relied on Prop KK funding streams.

Legislative history & timeline

  • Introduced in the Senate: April 15, 2025 (assigned to Appropriations)
  • Passed Senate (unamended): April 25–29, 2025
  • Passed House (unamended): May 1–3, 2025
  • Sent to Governor: May 13, 2025
  • Signed by Governor: May 31, 2025

Because the bill passed both chambers with no amendments and was signed by the governor, it is enacted. The exact effective date (immediate upon signature, a specified date in the bill, or the default statutory effective date) should be confirmed in the enrolled bill text or the published statute.

Potential impact and considerations

  • Reallocating Prop KK dollars can free resources in the ARPA Cash Fund for state priorities (including ARPA‑eligible pandemic recovery uses), but may reduce funding available for the original Prop KK purposes.
  • Agencies and recipients should review their budgets and planned expenditures to determine how the transfer affects cash flow and program continuity.
  • Stakeholders should consult the final enrolled bill language and any implementing guidance from the Office of the State Treasurer or relevant agencies for precise dollar amounts, timing, and permitted uses.
