The proposed bill would amend section 41-5731 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the eligibility criteria for accommodation schools regarding the building renewal grant fund. Under current law, accommodation schools are not eligible to receive funds from this grant. The bill introduces new language allowing accommodation schools to receive these funds under specific conditions, namely for projects involving buildings constructed before 2014 with funds from the former school facilities board.

Additionally, the bill makes minor adjustments to existing language regarding the reimbursement process for school districts that have improperly received funds. It clarifies that if a school district must reimburse the division due to legal issues with a contractor, the reimbursement will be made to the building renewal grant fund. Furthermore, the bill refines the language concerning the division's authority to spend fund monies for assessments, changing "if" to "whether" to enhance clarity.
