This bill amends the existing law regarding the School Security Revolving Fund, which is managed by the State Department of Education. The amendments expand the uses of the fund to include not only the establishment and maintenance of a School Resource Officer Program and physical security enhancements for schools, but also the contracting with licensed mental health professionals to provide counseling and social services to students. Additionally, the bill removes the previous expenditure limitation and mandates that a certain amount of funds be allocated from the School Security Revolving Fund to public school districts each fiscal year for three years, starting from July 1, 2026, subject to available funding.

The bill also clarifies that the funds in the School Security Revolving Fund are to supplement, rather than replace, existing school security funding. It establishes that expenditures from the fund will be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer and outlines the process for claims approval. The effective date of the bill is set for July 1, 2026, and it declares an emergency to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
