Bill > S0006

This bill expands the Nonprofit Security Grant Program in Florida to include additional organizations, such as schools, museums, and community centers, that are at high risk for violent attacks or hate crimes. It revises the eligibility criteria for the grants, which can be used for security infrastructure, hiring security personnel, and training. The bill also requires the Division of Emergency Management to adopt rules to administer the program and appropriates $10 million from the General Revenue Fund to the division for the 2023-2024 fiscal year to implement the program. Additionally, it appropriates $5 million to the Department of Education to provide grants to Jewish day schools and preschools for hardening security measures, and $20 million to the Department of Education to provide grants to these schools for non-hardening security measures.
