Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

More charter school choices after 2025

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state charter authorizing board can approve any number of charter schools. The normal application and review rules still apply. Before July 1, 2025, no more than four charter schools could be authorized to operate by an entity other than a school district board. The three schools approved by the State Loan and Investment Board counted toward that limit.

Deletes a 2023 charter school rule

Beginning July 1, 2025, Section 4(c) of the 2023 session laws is repealed. The act does not restate what that subsection said. Any practical effect depends on the repealed text.
