A bill for an act relating to the payment of claims associated with nonpublic school pupil transportation, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

This bill increases Iowa's appropriation for nonpublic school pupil transportation claims by $186,883.55, raising the total funding limit to $9,183,974.55 for fiscal year 2025-2026. It directly affects nonpublic schools and transportation providers by ensuring delayed claims due to administrative errors can now be paid using the additional funds. If total approved claims exceed the appropriation, the Department of Education must prorate payments proportionally. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
