AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, codifies and increases the state's annual funding goal for public school construction, aiming to provide at least $550,000,000 each year starting in fiscal year 2027. This new goal is intended to maintain a stable number of funded projects within the Capital Improvement Program, which is a plan for state-funded construction projects. The bill clarifies that this annual goal should be recalculated before the Nancy K. Kopp Public School Facilities Priority Fund is funded and does not include money provided through the Built to Learn Program, a separate initiative for school construction. For the fiscal years 2023 through 2026, the bill maintains a previous goal of at least $450,000,000 annually for public school construction.
