Relating to: school safety grants and making an appropriation. (FE)
SB 41 establishes a program to administer school safety grants but removes the original appropriation language, meaning it does not allocate new state funds. The bill specifies how existing or future grant funds would be distributed to schools for safety improvements, such as security systems or emergency protocols. It passed the Senate 18-14 on June 18, 2025, and was referred to the Rules committee for further consideration. This procedural bill focuses on grant administration rules rather than creating new funding.
