Allowed uses of long-term facilities maintenance revenue modified to include school safety facility enhancements.

HF 2511 allows Minnesota school districts to use long-term facilities maintenance revenue for school safety facility enhancements, such as security upgrades, violence prevention modifications, and equipment related to facility security. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to explicitly add "school safety facility enhancements" as an allowed use under the district's ten-year facility plan, effective for fiscal year 2026 and later. This change does not alter existing restrictions on revenue use, such as prohibitions on new facility construction or energy-efficiency projects unrelated to safety. School districts must include these safety projects in their approved facility plans to qualify for the funding.
