Summary

The bill establishes a Learning and Enrichment in Afterschool Programs (LEAP) Advisory Council and a grant program run by the Department of Public Instruction. It creates a LEAP fund—drawn from state appropriations, eligible federal and private money, and any settlements from social‑media lawsuits—to award grants to community groups, schools and local governments that run evidence‑based after‑school programs, with priority for rural and underserved areas. The council advises on grant rules, while the Department makes the final award decisions.
