HOUSE BILL 742
State Affairs (Senate)
School facilities funding
EDUCATION – Amends existing law to provide that the Governor’s appointment of the executive officer of the state board is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate and to revise provisions regarding School Modernization Facilities Fund distributions to school districts.
RS31709 / H0742
This is a trailer bill to House Bill 521 that makes three changes: 1) it ensures the executive officer of the state board is Senate confirmed; 2) it delays the implementation of the minimum days requirement for schools to 2025 to ensure legislative oversight while providing the state board flexibility to phase in hours or days requirements; and 3) it ensures any misused dollars by a local school district are recaptured to the schools facilities fund and distributed to rural schools.
This legislation will have no impact on the state’s General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund. The legislation does not make any adjustments to portions of House Bill 521 that have a budgetary impact.
