AI Summary

This bill establishes a new "nonpublic school safety infrastructure fund" managed by the department of education to provide grants for school safety and security improvements in accredited nonpublic schools, with "school safety and security infrastructure" referring to specific projects defined elsewhere in the law. Starting in fiscal year 2027, $1 million annually will be transferred from the "secure an advanced vision for education fund" to this new fund, and any money not awarded in a given fiscal year will carry over to the next, with any interest earned also remaining in the fund. The department of education is directed to create rules for this grant program, outlining who is eligible, what types of projects can receive funding, how to apply, and the maximum grant amounts, ensuring a competitive process for these safety and security infrastructure projects.
