AI Generated Summary

This bill modifies how compensatory revenue eligibility is calculated for schools in Minnesota. It stipulates that, starting on October 1, 2024, the number of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals will be determined based on both direct certification and educational benefits applications. Schools will count students determined eligible by December 15 as eligible as of October 1. The bill aligns these determinations with federal definitions and allows the commissioner to establish reporting guidelines, which districts must follow to ensure data accuracy.

Additional provisions in the bill adjust requirements for spending compensatory revenue at school sites under specific conditions. It also creates a Compensatory Revenue Task Force, mandates reporting requirements, and includes an appropriation for implementation.

The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 126C.10, subdivision 3b, and 126C.15, subdivision 2.
