"2. For any previously authorized ARPA SLRF project which has dollars remaining unobligated on June 30, 2024, as reported by the Department of Accounts, the Governor is authorized to transfer the unobligated amounts to Direct Aid to Public Education (197) to be used to supplement funding for the Child Care Subsidy Program to ensure that such funds are obligated by December 30, 2024.

3. For any ARPA SLRF-funded ventilation improvement grants issued pursuant to Chapter 1, Item 479.20 B.2.h.1, 2021 Special Session II, school boards shall obligate such funds no later than July 1, 2024. The Governor is authorized to transfer the school boards' remaining unobligated amounts after July 1, 2024 to Direct Aid to Public Education (197) to be used to supplement funding for the Child Care Subsidy Program to ensure that such funds are obligated by the Commonwealth by December 30, 2024."



Explanation

(This amendment advances the deadline for school divisions to obligate ARPA-SLRF ventilation improvement grants in January 2022 from December 31, 2024 to July 1, 2024. The amendment directs any remaining unobligated amounts to be used to offset general fund support for the Child Care Subsidy Program to ensure these federal pandemic relief funds will be expended prior to their expiration on December 31, 2024. Item 125.10 assumes $25.0 million in ARPA-SLRF will be reverted to support the Child Care Subsidy Program as a result of this action.)
