What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Beginning in the 2020-21 school year, this bill requires the Department of

Public Instruction to award grants to school districts for weatherization projects.

Under the bill, DPI must establish an advisory council to make recommendations on

the criteria for awarding weatherization grants and, after reviewing applications,

recommendations on which school districts should receive grants. Finally, the bill

specifies that the annual maximum award amount is $100,000 and that a school

district may use up to ten percent of a grant award for educational materials related

to the weatherization project.
