HB 5926 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

School aid: supplemental; school aid supplemental; provide for. Amends secs. 11, 31aa & 99h of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1611 et seq.) & adds sec. 97h.

This bill amends Michigan's state school aid act to provide specific funding for public schools, intermediate districts, and nonpublic schools to address student mental health and school safety. It allocates money from various state funds for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years, requiring that fifty percent of the designated funds be used for safety measures such as hiring school resource officers and installing security infrastructure like cameras and door blocks. The remaining portion of the funding must be spent on mental health services, including hiring counselors and social workers, purchasing screening tools, and providing staff training on threat assessment and crisis communication. Additionally, the legislation establishes a secure platform for school officials and emergency responders to coordinate safety information and mandates that any software used to detect firearms on school property must be proprietary and organically developed.
