JFAC approves small IT spending increase for STEM Action Center
Summary
The committee approved a small, one‑time general‑fund IT replacement appropriation for the STEM Action Center to cover requested replacements.
The Joint Finance‑Appropriations Committee approved a one‑time general‑fund appropriation to cover an information‑technology replacement request from the STEM Action Center.
Representative Price moved the item, asking to add $9,900 for IT replacements; the committee approved the request and recorded a do‑pass recommendation. The STEM Action Center is responsible for statewide outreach on science, technology, engineering and math education and works with students and teachers across the state.
Why it matters: The appropriation is limited in size but supports basic technology needs for a statewide education outreach agency.
