2003 House Bill 4401 (House Roll Call 78)
Amendment offered by Rep. Jim Plakas (D) on April 10, 2003, to eliminate a requirement that the Department of Education must assign a district code to charter schools within 30 days after a contract is submitted by the school’s authorizing body, rather than "in a timely manner" as required under current law. The district code is necessary for the school to receive school aid payments from the state. Note: on the day the amendment was offered, the state superintendent of schools announced he would refuse to issue the codes to seven new charter schools created by Bay Mills Community College. The amendment failed 49 to 54 in the House on April 10, 2003.
