Senate Bill 352 aims to create a grant program administered by the Department of Public Instruction to support school districts in hiring mental health professionals who are members of racial minority groups. The bill allocates $5,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 specifically for these grants. It defines a "member of a racial minority group" to include individuals who identify as Black American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, or those with mixed racial ancestry.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the Department to promulgate rules necessary for the implementation of the grant program. The new legal language introduced in the bill includes the creation of sections 20.255 (2) (dv) and 115.369 in the statutes, which outline the grant program and its objectives. The act is set to take effect the day after its publication or on the second day after the publication of the 2025 biennial budget act, whichever occurs later.
