MODERATE
The bill increased funding from the School Expense Fund from $18,037 to $40,000 for FY2025-26 and added a new $26,000 appropriation from the State Patrol Expense Fund for the same fiscal year. The total salary and per diem expenditure cap was raised to $20,000 for FY2025-26 or $0 for FY2026-27. These changes expand available resources for the program while maintaining the same legislative purpose.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains the same, but funding sources and amounts have been increased to provide more financial resources for the program.
