Bill Summary
This bill removes the right of first refusal for chartered public schools regarding unused school district facilities.
AI Summary
This bill repeals New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 194:61, which previously governed the use of unused school district facilities by chartered public schools (also known as charter schools). By removing this specific statute, the bill effectively eliminates the current right of first refusal that charter schools had regarding unused educational facilities owned by school districts. This means that charter schools will no longer have a guaranteed priority or preferential access to empty school buildings or spaces that traditional public school districts are not using. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving school districts and charter schools time to adjust to the new legal framework. At the time of introduction, a complete fiscal impact assessment was pending, with the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant awaiting additional information from the Department of Education to fully evaluate the potential financial consequences of this legislative change.
