Bill > HB330

This bill changes the governance of the School Impact Fee Program by transferring oversight from the Board of Education to the School Facilities Authority Board. The bill adds a new definition of "Board" to the existing statutes, specifically defining it as the school facilities authority board established by section 302A-1704. The legislature's rationale is that the current governance structure is misaligned, since the School Facilities Authority is already responsible for administering the school impact fee program. As part of this transition, the School Facilities Authority Board will carry out the same processes and procedures previously conducted by the Board of Education for dissolving school impact districts. A school impact district is a designated area where development is subject to additional fees to support school infrastructure, though the specific details of such districts are not elaborated in this bill. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder date typically used when the exact implementation date is still being determined.
