An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in grounds and buildings, further providing for referendum or public hearing required prior to construction or lease; providing for school facilities; establishing the Public School Facility Advisory Committee; in construction and renovation of buildings by school entities, repealing provisions relating to building condition assessments; and imposing duties on the Department of Education.

Updated the definition of 'Athletic facility' to use lowercase and added 'chartered school for the education of the deaf or blind' and 'regional charter school' to the list of eligible school entities.

Changed the definition of 'School infrastructure improvement' to remove the capitalized 'PUBLIC' requirement, ensuring the term applies to all public school facilities without distinction.

Added new duties for the Department of Education to assist school entities in assessing infrastructure needs and to provide technical assistance for complete inventory submissions.

Established a new Public School Facility Advisory Committee with specific composition rules, including new appointments by legislative leaders and the addition of a public health official.

Created a new requirement for third-party vendors to prepare and post an executive summary of facility assessments online, detailing specific risks like asbestos, mold, and HVAC issues.

Repealed Section 2605-J, which previously established a voluntary reporting system for building condition assessments, replacing it with the new mandatory assessment framework.

Changed the committee meeting requirement to hold the first meeting within 45 days of member appointment, replacing the previous vague timeline.
