AI Summary
This bill expands the existing Nonprofit Security Grant Program in Florida to include additional organizations, such as schools, museums, and community centers, in addition to houses of worship. The bill specifies that the grants can be used for purchasing and installing security infrastructure, hiring security personnel, and providing training. It also requires the Division of Emergency Management (DEM) to prioritize applicants that are houses of worship or facilities frequented by children or students, and to provide an annual report to the legislature on the grants awarded. The bill appropriates $20 million from the General Revenue Fund to the DEM for implementing the grant program, and an additional $15 million and $10 million to the Department of Education for providing grants to Jewish day schools and preschools for hardening and non-hardening security measures, respectively.
