The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.992, subdivision 1, to clarify the eligibility criteria for school library aid. It specifies that for fiscal year 2024 and beyond, school library aid will be provided for
an independent or special school based on adjusted pupil units or a minimum of $40,000. Additionally, it establishes that charter schools will receive aid equal to the greater of $16.11 multiplied by their adjusted pupil units or a minimum of $20,000.
Furthermore, the bill includes an
effective date provision, stating that the changes will be retroactively applicable for revenue starting in fiscal year 2024 and later. This ensures that the new eligibility criteria for school library aid are implemented without delay, benefiting eligible schools as soon as possible.
