Bill Summary

Relative to school building assistance. Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) law to change the figure "1" to "2" in two sections, and adds a new section that prohibits the MSBA from denying an eligible applicant's invitation to apply for a school facilities grant solely because of the age of the system in need of repair. The MSBA can consider the age of the system as a factor when reviewing applications and prioritizing the approval of school projects and reimbursements, but cannot reject an application solely based on the age of the system. The bill aims to ensure that older school systems are not excluded from receiving MSBA funding for necessary repairs.
