SCS/SB 296 - This act adds a condition to the State Board of Education's authority to classify the public schools of this state. The act states that any rule requirements for the purpose of classifying the public schools must be in place for two years prior to implementation. However, the "two years prior to implementation" condition shall not apply to any requirement for which a time line for adoption is mandated in either federal or state law.
