Bill > SB0077

This bill amends the State School Aid Act to adjust state education funding for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, with a key focus on implementing mobile panic alert systems in schools. Specifically, the bill increases the general fund appropriation from $78,830,600 to $85,530,600, with $6,700,000 specifically allocated for public and nonpublic schools to install mobile panic alert systems as required by the Revised School Code. The panic alert system funding is designated as a work project, meaning any unexpended funds can be carried forward into the 2025-2026 fiscal year, with a project completion date of September 30, 2027. The bill also maintains existing provisions about appropriation allocation, including that general fund money must be expended before state school aid fund money, and any unexpended general fund allocations will be transferred to the school aid stabilization fund. Notably, the bill is tied to the passage of Senate Bill 76, meaning it will only take effect if that companion bill is enacted into law.
