Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 665 clarifies the responsibilities of local school administrative units in reporting their use of funds from the Public School Disaster Preparedness Fund. It now requires these units to provide a breakdown of how funds have been spent or committed, as well as a report on their progress with disaster preparedness plans by a set deadline each year. This change matters because it aims to enhance accountability and transparency in how schools manage disaster preparedness funding, ensuring that the funds are used effectively for student safety.
