SCHOOL SECURITY GRANTS

The foregoing appropriation item 230502, School Security Grants, shall be used by the School Facilities Commission to provide funding to all chartered nonpublic schools for school security expenditures related to the purchase and installation of one Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS) unit per school building. If law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over all or a portion of the geographical area of a chartered nonpublic school do not use MARCS, a chartered nonpublic school may purchase one emergency communications system compatible with the system or systems in use by law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over the school territory. A school may apply to the School Facilities Commission for reimbursement up to $2,000 for one MARCS unit or other emergency communications system per school building installed on or after January 1, 2013.

Local law enforcement agencies that do not have a MARCS, or other similar unit, and that have jurisdiction over all or a portion of a public or chartered nonpublic school that chooses to participate in the school security grant program, also are permitted to participate in the program. An agency may apply to the School Facilities Commission for reimbursement up to $2,000 for one MARCS unit or other emergency communications system installed on or after January 1, 2013.

An amount equal to the unexpended, unencumbered portion of the foregoing appropriation item 230502, School Security Grants, at the end of fiscal year 2014 is hereby reappropriated to the Facilities Construction Commission for the same purpose for fiscal year 2015.

Section 2. Within the limits set forth in this act, the Director of Budget and Management shall establish accounts indicating the source and amount of funds for each appropriation made in this act, and shall determine the form and manner in which appropriation accounts shall be maintained. Expenditures from appropriations contained in this act shall be accounted for as though made in the main operating appropriations act of the 130th General Assembly.

The appropriations made in this act are subject to all provisions of the main operating appropriations act of the 130th General Assembly that are generally applicable to such appropriations.
