Committee approves rule aligning Opportunity Scholarship rules to recent law
Summary
The committee approved rule docket 08‑0113‑2401 to align Opportunity Scholarship administrative rules with changes enacted in the prior legislative session; the State Board of Education presented the rule and the committee approved by voice vote.
Mr. Reiber (State Board of Education Strategy and Planning) told the committee that docket 08‑0113‑2401 updates the administrative rules governing the Opportunity Scholarship to reflect statutory changes from the previous legislative session.
"These rules...are aligning to a bill passed last legislative session by our own Representative Clow," Reiber said, explaining the rule change ensures state agency rules match recent statutory amendments.
Representative Mathias moved to approve docket Eight‑oneThirteen‑two401. The committee approved the docket by voice vote.
Committee members thanked the board office for using temporary-rule authority previously to implement the statutory changes in a timely manner and for bringing a 1‑to‑1 copy of the temporary rule into permanent rule form. The committee did not make further amendments to the docket during the hearing.
