Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a grant program for the installation of laundry equipment and facilities in certain schools

AI Summary

This bill establishes a competitive grant program administered by the state education commissioner to help public K-12 schools that are eligible for Title I federal education funding (which supports schools with high percentages of low-income students) install laundry equipment and facilities. The facilities would be used by students and their parents or guardians, with a specific priority given to schools where significant numbers of students live in emergency housing or frequently miss school due to not having clean clothing. The goal appears to be addressing student attendance and hygiene challenges by providing access to laundry services directly within schools. The grant program will be funded through state appropriations, and schools will compete for the available funding. The bill is set to take effect on the first of July following its passage into law.
