	67	+	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA:
	68	+	Section 1. Tuskegee University has a unique
	69	+	relationship to the State of Alabama. Due to the unique nature
	70	+	of the circumstances related to the establishment and
	71	+	development of Tuskegee Institute which differs from that of
	72	+	private schools and colleges receiving funds from the state
	73	+	and from the state's public colleges and universities, the
	74	+	institution should be afforded a unique treatment relative to
	75	+	funding from the Education Trust Fund. Tuskegee Institute was

77	91		the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. Of the above

79	93		agricultural research and extension service state match.
80		-	Section 3. The above appropriation is made for the

85		-	seq., Code of Alabama 1975, the provisions of the Budget
86		-	Management Act of 1976, Section 41-19-1 et seq., Code of
87		-	Alabama 1975, and any other provisions of this act.
