Committee adopts substitute capping waiver days at 15 in school-related bill
Summary
The House Committee on Education and Workforce adopted a substitute to House Bill 4345 that caps the number of days that may be waived at 15, in addition to what state law already allows.
The House Committee on Education and Workforce on May 20 adopted an H1 substitute to House Bill 4345 that caps the number of days that can be waived at 15, in addition to what is allowed in law.
Representative Cabot sponsored House Bill 4345; the committee considered an H1 substitute that, as described during the session, places a 15-day cap on waivable days "in addition to what is allowed in law." Vice Chair Linting moved to adopt the H1 substitute; a recorded roll call followed and the chair announced the motion prevailed.
The transcript does not spell out what type of waivers (for example, attendance waivers, reporting waivers, or other administrative waivers) the substitute addresses, nor does it list any associated fiscal impact or enforcement mechanism. The substitute language as read to the committee sets a numerical cap but the committee record for this session does not identify implementation details, affected programs, or funding changes.
Following the adoption of the H1 substitute, the committee chair ended the meeting and noted the committee was adjourned. No public comment or extended debate on HB 4345 is recorded in the transcript of this session.
