AI Summary

This bill proposes to add an adjustment to the local cost-share for school construction projects in certain counties in Maryland. Specifically, it allows for a reduction in the local cost-share for counties where the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals is greater than the statewide average, all schools in the county participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Community Eligibility Provision, the state and local cost-share formula is 50/50, and the eligible project is the only elementary, middle, or high school in the county. The state cost-share would be increased by the same percentage as the reduction in the local cost-share. The bill also provides for additional increases in the state cost-share in certain circumstances, such as when the proposed project is at a school with a high concentration of poverty or is for a net-zero energy school. This bill aims to provide additional financial assistance for school construction projects in counties with higher concentrations of economically disadvantaged students.
