Bill > LB631

This bill modifies the existing statute regarding the School Emergency Response Mapping Fund, which is administered by the State Department of Education. The key change involves adjusting the intended transfer amount from the General Fund to the School Emergency Response Mapping Fund from $525,000 to $4 million, and shifting the fiscal year from 2024-25 to 2025-26. The fund can be used for grants related to implementing mapping data for emergency responses in schools, and any available funds can be invested by the state investment officer according to existing state investment acts. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon being passed and approved, and it formally repeals the original version of section 79-3111 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes. The purpose appears to be providing additional funding for school emergency response mapping efforts, with a significant increase in the proposed transfer amount.
