From the transcript
Starting with HB 263 was the state's operating budget. It included about $144 million in one-time funding, of which ASD would receive approximately $5.5 million for energy relief and $32.1 million in one-time funds contingent upon revenue that's to be determined as of August 31st. So we're going to focus on the $5.5 million today, and that'll be in conjunction— and here's the language on the HB 263. That really says any amount over $6.3 billion in revenue that the state receives in unrestricted general fund revenue, the first $127 million will go to pay an energy relief payment as part of the permanent fund, and then after that is funded, the next $115 million, or up to $115 million, will go to school districts, and that'll make up the $32.1 million that we may receive sometime after August 31st. HB 28, kind of their omnibus education bill, would provide energy rebates in '28, but not really affecting FY '27.
