Bill > S3156

This bill amends existing law to allow boards of education to lease certain school property, including buildings or land not currently needed for school purposes, to federally qualified health centers without requiring a public bidding process. Federally qualified health centers are healthcare providers that meet specific criteria set by the federal government, often serving underserved populations. This change permits these leases to be made through private agreement, potentially for a nominal fee, and removes the requirement for public advertisement for bids that would normally apply to such property leases. Additionally, if a school building is jointly occupied by a public school and a federally qualified health center, the bill stipulates that the health center's facilities must be located in a separate area from where students are present, to the extent allowed by federal law.
