AI Summary

This bill aims to redefine "capital construction project" and "major reconstruction project" for school facilities. It expands the definition of capital construction projects to include the development and construction of sidewalks, pathways, street lighting, parking lots, and other eligible transportation projects to ensure safe student travel to public schools. It also allows for the cost of student health and wellness centers within public schoolhouses to be included as part of capital construction projects. The bill also clarifies the definition of major reconstruction projects to include the retrofitting of schools for wireless or other learning technologies, student health and wellness centers, and the replacement of roofs or heating plants not due to the failure of the school to properly maintain the facilities.
