Committee approves State Board rule changes aligning Opportunity Scholarship rules to last session’s law
Summary
The committee approved a rule docket (08-0113-2401) amending rules governing the Opportunity Scholarship to align administrative code with statutory changes enacted last legislative session; the State Board staff told the committee the amendments are drafting and alignment changes.
State Board of Education staff presented rule docket 08-0113-2401 to the House Committee on Education as an update to administrative rules governing the Opportunity Scholarship to align rules with changes enacted by the Legislature in the prior session.
Mr. Reiber (State Board Strategy and Planning Officer) said these rule changes are intended to align department rules with statutory revisions that Representative Clow had sponsored in the previous legislative session. He described the changes as technical and drafting updates to make agency rules consistent with the statutory language.
Representative Mathias moved to approve the docket. The committee approved the rule change by voice vote; the committee did not record a roll-call for this item. The rule was reported out of committee ("on its way").
Committee discussion on the docket was limited and focused on the alignment of administrative rules to recently enacted law; no substantive policy changes beyond statutory alignment were discussed in committee testimony.
