What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill appropriates $4,000,000 in the 2023-25 fiscal biennium to the Department of Justice so that DOJ may award grants to school boards or governing bodies of private schools to acquire proactive metallic and nonmetallic threat detection equipment and software. The bill provides that if a 2023 bill creating the grant program is not enacted into law, the appropriation of the money for the grant program by this bill is void.
