Bill summary

House committee substitute amends the 1st edition as follows.

Section 3

Allows for any applicant or charter school that received a decision on an application, charter amendment, renewal, or termination from the State Board of Education after July 1, 2022, that differed from the decision recommended by the Charter Schools Advisory Board to apply for reconsideration of the decision by the Charter Schools Review Board (previously, permitted an applicant or charter school that had an application, charter amendment, renewal, or termination submitted on or after July 1, 2022, that the Charter Schools Advisory Board recommended be decided in the applicant or charter school's favor and that the State Board then subsequently decided against the Charter Schools Advisory Board's recommendation to apply for the decision to be reconsidered by the Review Board). Maintains the previous time periods for requesting reconsideration and the Charter Schools Review Board issuing a decision on the request. Makes a technical change.

No longer specifies that the act applies beginning with the 2024-25 school year.
