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.
