This bill appropriates $4,000,000 to the Department of Education - Division of Elementary and Secondary Education for the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The funds will come from the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education Public School Fund Account and can be used for personal services, operating expenses, grants, and aid. The bill specifies that the disbursement of these funds must comply with various state laws, including the State Procurement Law, General Accounting and Budgetary Procedures Law, and Revenue Stabilization Law.
