SB 127 (2021)

This is an omnibus bill that sets aside money for various programs:

• $200,000 annually to the Business Finance Authority 
• $10 million over two years to the Affordable Housing Fund
• $2 million to the Department of Education for air quality improvement in public school buildings
• Up to $500,000 of the amount in excess of $725,000 from the Investor Education Fund to the FRM Victims' Recovery Fund
• $1million over two years to the Department of Environmental Services for public water system projects
• Roughly $12.7 million over two years to the Department of Environmental Services for wastewater projects

This bill also:

• Expands eligibility for Adequacy Aid to all grade levels (kindergarten-grade 12) from the current grades 9-12 for home-schooled students taking academic classes.
• Establishes a statewide database of all health certificates for any dog, cat, or ferret for which it is required and related pet records. As introduced, this bill included a $2 fee for these records.  A Senate amendment removed the fee and instead set aside $250,000 for the database.
