An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in construction and renovation of buildings by school entities, further providing for definitions and for building condition assessments.

This bill requires Pennsylvania school districts and other school entities to conduct a comprehensive building condition assessment every seven years to evaluate the safety and maintenance needs of their facilities. The law mandates that these reports include detailed data on structural and system components, estimated costs for operations and repairs, and plans for addressing hazards like asbestos or lead. Schools that complete these assessments will receive a 2% increase in state funding reimbursements, while those that fail to submit the required reports will be ineligible for certain state grants and funding. The legislation also establishes clear definitions for construction, maintenance, and operations costs to ensure consistent reporting across the state.
