Permits the Johnson City Central school district to create an insurance reserve fund
This bill permits the Johnson City School District to establish an insurance reserve fund. The fund would allow the district to cover insurance-related losses or claims (such as lawsuits or damages) without needing separate budget approvals for each incident. It specifically applies to Johnson City School District, as listed in the law, and aligns with existing rules for school district insurance management. The bill does not change insurance requirements but provides a dedicated funding mechanism for covered claims.
