Bill > HB3165

This bill modifies provisions related to state funding for school districts impacted by wildfires by making several key changes. The bill transfers $6,100,000 from the Fund for Student Success to the School Stabilization Subaccount for Wildfire-impacted School Districts, specifically to award grants to school districts that have been affected by wildfires. The bill extends the timeline for certain provisions from July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, which delays the abolishment of the School Stabilization Subaccount and the transfer of any remaining funds to the Statewide Education Initiatives Account. Additionally, the bill increases the expenditure limitation for the Department of Education for the 2023-2025 biennium, allowing for more spending on grants, program costs, and purchased services related to wildfire-impacted school districts. The bill also includes a provision that exempts this specific transfer from the standard percentage-based transfer requirements outlined in existing law. Recognizing the urgent needs of wildfire-affected school districts, the bill declares an emergency, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage.
