Reorganizing School Building Authority as School Maintenance Authority

SB 406 renames the "School Building Authority" to the "School Maintenance Authority" in West Virginia law. The bill explicitly shifts the entity's focus from financing new school construction (like buildings and major renovations) to prioritizing ongoing school maintenance and repairs (such as facility upkeep and safety upgrades). This change affects county school boards and the authority itself, as it redirects funding toward maintenance projects - excluding routine repairs, instructional equipment, and new construction - under the updated "facilities plan" requirements. The bill does not create new funding mechanisms but redefines existing processes to emphasize maintenance over construction.
