DIGEST
Proposed law requires a chartering group seeking to operate a charter school to notify each state
senator and state representative in whose district the proposed charter school is to be located at
the time the initial charter school proposal or application is submitted to the appropriate
chartering authority. Further provides that such notification be made by certified mail and include
the date the proposal or application was submitted, the chartering authority to which the proposal
or application was submitted, the type of charter school the chartering group seeks to operate,
and the location of the proposed charter school.
Proposed law additionally requires the chartering group to notify each state senator and state
representative in whose district the proposed charter school is to be located, by certified mail,
whether such proposal or application was accepted or denied.
Proposed law provides that proposed law does not apply to renewals of the charter of an existing
charter school.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
