This bill mandates an annual appropriation of $1 million to educational services commissions that provide in-classroom instruction and educational services to students residing in SDA (School Development Authority) districts. Currently, these commissions do not receive direct State funding for school facilities projects or security improvements, despite having similar needs as SDA districts. The bill aims to address this inequity by allocating State funds specifically for school facilities projects and school security improvements, thereby ensuring that resources are not diverted from student instruction.

The legislation defines "school facilities" and "school facilities projects," outlining the types of structures and improvements eligible for funding. It also specifies what constitutes "school security improvements," including safety measures such as security cameras and electronic notification systems. The bill is designed to enhance the safety and infrastructure of educational services commissions, thereby supporting the educational environment for students in SDA districts. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
