Bill > HF2511

This bill modifies Minnesota's long-term facilities maintenance revenue rules to explicitly allow school districts to include school safety facility enhancements in their ten-year facility plans. Specifically, the bill permits districts to use long-term facilities maintenance revenue for projects related to school security, such as remodeling, new construction, equipment, and facility modifications aimed at violence prevention and facility security. The bill adds a new subdivision to existing law that outlines these school safety enhancement projects, which can be included in facility plans until they are completed. The changes will apply to revenue in fiscal year 2026 and later, effectively expanding the allowable uses of long-term facilities maintenance revenue to directly address school safety infrastructure improvements. The bill also updates several related subdivisions to incorporate the new school safety facility enhancement provisions, ensuring that these projects can be planned for and funded through existing mechanisms for school facility maintenance and improvements.
