continue to experience a considerable strain of resources due to
the increased demand for charitable services; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate memorialize the State Treasurer,
upon the enactment of the General Appropriation Act of 2009, to
release funding for nonprofit and charitable services as quickly
as possible to ensure the continued operation of nonprofit and
