Bill > HB232

This bill enacts the Public School Ventilation Improvement Act, which creates a capital improvement program to provide grants to school districts and charter schools to improve the mechanical ventilation systems in public schools. The bill defines key terms such as "certified technician," "mechanical ventilation system," and "qualified testing and adjusting personnel." It outlines the application process for grants, the types of expenses that can be covered, and the priority given to certain projects. The bill also establishes the Public School Ventilation Improvement Fund, which will be administered by the Department of Public Education and used to provide the grants. The bill requires ventilation assessments and verification reports to ensure the work is performed properly, and it makes these reports public documents.
