This bill appropriates funds from the sports wagering receipts fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically allocating $14 million to the Department of Education for a salary supplement for education support personnel. The funds are designated to supplement the compensation of education support personnel, which includes both regular and part-time employees who are not salaried. To qualify for the funding, school districts must report the number of education support personnel they employ to the Department of Education by July 1, 2025. The amount each district receives will be calculated based on its budget enrollment relative to the statewide total for the same budget year.

Additionally, the bill allocates $8 million from the sports wagering receipts fund to the Department of Public Safety for deposit into the public safety equipment fund. The section of the bill that appropriates funds to the Department of Education is deemed of immediate importance and takes effect upon enactment, ensuring that school districts can begin the reporting process promptly to access the funds.
