Title: Appropriations, 2013-2014 fiscal year, Education Trust Fund, Auburn University Aviation Program and Rainy Day Account Repayment, Act 2013-264, 2013 Reg. Sess., am'd.
Summary: SB183 adds conditional appropriations from Alabama's Education Trust Fund for FY 2014, prioritizing Rainy Day Fund repayment and a set of higher‑education projects.
What This Bill Does
It amends Section 4 of Act 2013-264 to authorize additional conditional appropriations from the Education Trust Fund for the year ending September 30, 2014, conditioned on available funds, the Director of Finance's recommendation, and the Governor's approval. The appropriations are divided into First Priority Conditionals (e.g., Insurance Information and Research Center and Rainy Day Account repayment) and Second Priority Conditionals (a list of universities, centers, and programs). After the first and second priority appropriations are released, up to $150,000,000 may be allocated to repay the ETF Rainy Day Account. The bill also says some appropriations to Troy University and the University of West Alabama could be included in FY2015 base funding if released, and the act would take effect immediately upon passage and approval.

Who It Affects
Higher education institutions and related programs listed (e.g., Auburn University Aviation Program, Troy University, University of Alabama at Birmingham Diabetic Research Center, University of Alabama System cyber technology centers, and various other universities and centers) — their funding is conditional and depends on fund availability and approvals.
Education Trust Fund management and state finance authorities — the Rainy Day Fund repayment schedule and the sequencing of first and second priority appropriations will affect how funds are allocated and repaid.
