Summary
Public School Assistance Fund and Program created. Creates the Public School Assistance Fund and Program, to be administered by the Department of Education, for the purpose of providing grants to school boards to be used solely for the purpose of repairing or replacing the roofs of public elementary and secondary school buildings in the local school division. The bill permits any school board in the Commonwealth to apply for Program grants but requires the Department of Education to give priority in the award of grants to school boards that demonstrate the greatest need based on the condition of existing school building roofs and the ability to pay for the repair or replacement of such roofs. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation act.

What changed in the latest version
17 added · 15 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of SB 4 includes a provision that allows organizations with a specific permit to operate up to four electronic games where alcoholic beverages are served, as long as they have the agreement of the establishment's licensee. Additionally, it imposes a 25 percent tax on the gross profits from these games, which will support a designated fund. Importantly, the previous requirement that linked the bill's effectiveness to a funding appropriation from the General Assembly has been removed. This change is significant because it allows the bill to take effect without needing guaranteed funding, potentially speeding up its implementation.
