Local Government Impact
  
The bill would explicitly allow local school boards to adopt rules to
keep school campuses, including libraries, open for recreational
activities and tutoring after school hours.  The district employee or
volunteer serving on the school campus after school hours would be
provided immunity from liability consistent with the immunity granted
other district employees and volunteers.

The costs for opening school campuses after school hours would be borne
by the local school district.  The cost would depend on the amount of
time the building was open, the level of recreational and tutorial
services offered, and the number of volunteers the district was able to
obtain.
