This bill proposes an appropriation of $1,700,000 for the Department of Education's Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to fund comprehensive out-of-school time program grants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The funding aims to support evidence-based academic enhancement programs for school-aged children, aligning with state curriculum standards. The bill outlines specific eligibility criteria for organizations applying for these grants, including the requirement to provide out-of-school programs during the school year, implement rigorous safety standards, and maintain a record of fiscal accountability.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that require the Department of Education to establish rules for determining eligibility and administering the grants. It emphasizes the importance of collecting data on participant demographics and program participation, as well as ensuring that at least 50% of funding comes from non-state resources. An emergency clause is also included, stating that the act must take effect on July 1, 2025, to ensure the timely operation of the agency and prevent any disruption in essential governmental programs.
