Bill Summary

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 15-19-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the payment of fees for courses provided by the center for distance education.

AI Summary

This bill amends North Dakota law regarding fees for courses provided by the center for distance education by changing who is responsible for paying these fees. Previously, a student's school district of residence was required to pay the fees, but the new language allows the center for distance education to charge fees that can be paid either by the student's parent or legal guardian, or by the school district of residence under specific conditions. Those conditions are that the school district must not offer the course during that semester or must not offer the course at a time that fits the student's preferred class schedule. The bill provides more flexibility in fee payment and gives students and their families alternative options for covering the cost of distance education courses, potentially making these educational opportunities more accessible.
