AB 1001

This bill requires the Department of Administration to establish a competitive

grant program that is open to public and private schools for grants to improve the

safety of school buildings and to provide security training to school personnel. Under

the bill, DOA must delegate the administration of the grant program to cooperative

educational service agency 6 (CESA 6). In administering the program, CESA 6 must

give preference to applicants that have not received a school safety grant from the

Department of Justice. The bill provides $30,000,000 for these grants. Finally, the

grant program sunsets on July 1, 2025.
