This bill amends Section 16-7-41.1 of the General Laws to make changes to the eligibility for reimbursement for school construction projects. It states that school districts, not municipalities, may apply for and obtain approval for a project. However, if a municipality issues bonds to finance or refinance school facilities for a school district that is not part of the municipality, the municipality may also apply for and obtain approval for a project. The bill also specifies that only projects undertaken at school facilities under the care and control of the school committee and located on school property may qualify for reimbursement. Facilities with combined school and municipal uses or facilities that are operated jointly with any other profit or nonprofit agency do not qualify for reimbursement. The bill also includes provisions related to the approval of new school construction applications, state funding for projects, community involvement in the investigation and remediation of contaminated building sites, and the inclusion of an owner's program manager and commissioning agent for certain school housing projects. The bill also allows for temporary housing for students and reimbursable expenses for environmental site remediation. Additionally, the bill requires that projects comply with prevailing wage laws and minority business enterprise requirements. Finally, the bill increases the school housing aid ratio by 5% for projects that ensure Rhode Island based minority business enterprises reach a minimum of 20% of the dollar value of the bid. This bill would take effect upon passage.
