The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.992, subdivision 1, to clarify the eligibility criteria for school library aid. Specifically, it changes the language regarding the calculation of aid for independent or special schools, replacing the term "a" with "an independent or special school" to specify the type of institutions eligible for this funding. Additionally, it establishes that for charter schools, the aid will be determined as the greater of $16.11 multiplied by the charter school's adjusted pupil units for the school year or a flat amount of $20,000.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that makes the changes effective retroactively for revenue starting in fiscal year 2024 and later. This ensures that the updated eligibility criteria for school library aid will apply to the current fiscal year and beyond, providing clarity and support for school libraries in Minnesota.
