Purpose of the Bill

This legislative bill aims to enhance school safety by reallocating funds to provide grants for law enforcement entry devices in schools.

Main Provisions

  • The bill proposes to allocate financial resources specifically for purchasing law enforcement entry devices for schools. These devices are likely intended to improve the safety and security of school environments.
  • It seeks to cancel any unused funds from a previous school safety grant allocated in 2018. This entails reallocating leftover funds that were not spent from this past appropriation.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • The bill cancels any remaining balance from the school safety grants appropriated under the 2018 Minnesota laws. This means that any leftover funds from these grants will no longer be available for their initially intended purposes but will instead be redirected towards the new use described in the bill.

Relevant Terms

  • School safety
  • Law enforcement entry devices
  • Grant funds
  • Appropriation cancellation
  • Education finance
