HB 3631 provides a credit against recapture payments for certain school districts located in coastal counties that face high costs for windstorm and hail insurance. It allows eligible districts to deduct the cost of this insurance from the amount they are required to pay under the state's school finance system for attendance credits. This measure aims to alleviate the financial burden on coastal school districts dealing with severe weather risks.
