The bill establishes the "firearm detection software fund" as a nonreverting fund within the state treasury, aimed at enhancing public school security through the provision of grants to school districts and charter schools. The fund will be administered by the public education department and will consist of various sources of revenue, including appropriations and donations. The grants will be specifically allocated for contracting firearm detection software that meets certain criteria, such as the ability to detect visible unholstered firearms, integration with existing security systems, and designation as qualified anti-terrorism technology by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Additionally, the bill appropriates five million dollars from the general fund to the firearm detection software fund for use in fiscal year 2026 and beyond. This funding is intended to support the grants for school districts and charter schools, ensuring that they have access to the necessary resources to implement effective firearm detection measures. Any unspent funds at the end of a fiscal year will not revert to the general fund, allowing for continued investment in school safety initiatives.
