AI Summary
This bill establishes a School Carbon Monoxide Safety Trust Fund to provide grants to public school districts for the installation of carbon monoxide detection systems as required by law.

The bill also provides an initial $7.5 million transfer from the General Fund to the School Carbon Monoxide Safety Trust Fund.
