The Senate has taken a new approach to funding for select line items, nonprofits, and other non-state entities. All told, 32 organizations and state divisions have been put on notice that they will need to justify their effectiveness before receiving more funds from the state. A total of $74 million has been moved from recurring funding, which continues largely unnoticed from year to year, to one-time, nonrecurring funding. Each item listed in the “Money Report” notes that funding in the second year of the biennium is dependent on a “continuation review.”
