This bill amends Section 423F.3 of the Iowa Code to expand the definition of "school infrastructure" to include the increased costs of insurance coverage for school districts that employ individuals with a professional permit to carry weapons. Specifically, it adds a new subparagraph that allows funding from the secure an advanced vision for education (SAVE) fund to be used for these insurance costs.

The bill aims to clarify the purposes for which school districts can utilize funds from the SAVE fund, which is primarily designated for school infrastructure and property tax relief. By including insurance costs related to armed personnel, the legislation acknowledges the financial implications of hiring individuals with permits to carry weapons in schools, thereby allowing districts to allocate resources accordingly.
