Description
Discussion of VAN FY25 Request at the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
On Friday, the committee finally revealed the language that will go along with your appropriation, which is great - it directs the Secretary of State to recommend the level of funding for VAN for future years as part of its budget presentation next year. This language might change a bit.
Both the base appropriation and this language will be items to be discussed in the Conference Committee on the Budget because, as you recall, the House only included $1m in base funding for VAN. That process should start up in about 2 weeks.
