APPROPRIATIONS -- COMMISSION FOR THE BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED -- Appropriates an additional $10,000 to the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired for fiscal year 2017.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This supplemental appropriation, in the amount of $10,000 one-time from the dedicated Rehabilitation Revenue and Refunds Fund is provided to the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired for the remainder of fiscal year 2017. The funding is intended to enable the Commission to spend reimbursements to the agency from the Social Security Administration and other state programs for rehabilitation services provided by the agency. Reimbursements received by the agency in FY 2017 exceed current authority, and are required by federal law to be spent before federal grant funding can be utilized by the agency. This appropriation would allow the Commission to spend up to $10,000 in additional reimbursements received by agency.
