Referred to the Committee on Education
Reported without amendment
Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass. On the House floor, the Speaker of the House offered an amendment to use the bill as a "vehicle" to place on the ballot in Genesee, Kent, Macomb and Oakland counties a measure to close down the county Intermediate School District (ISD), and transfer its revenue to the regular school districts in the county. The Speaker said he was trying to put pressure on ISDs, which he contended were "stonewalling" a package of ISD governance reform bills. The amendment was later withdrawn.
