This bill amends Section 298.4 of the Iowa Code to allow the use of revenues from the district management levy specifically for the employment or retention of school security personnel. The new provisions include the ability to use these funds to pay for a school resource officer, individuals from private security businesses with the appropriate permits, reserve peace officers, and peace officers as defined in various sections of the Code. This expansion of allowable expenditures aims to enhance security measures within schools.

The bill stipulates that these changes will take effect for school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2025. This timeline provides school districts with the opportunity to plan and allocate their budgets accordingly to incorporate these new security personnel provisions.
