Bill > HB1062

This bill amends Missouri state law by adding a new section that prevents municipalities from creating obstacles for charter schools acquiring and using property for educational purposes. Specifically, the bill prohibits local governments from adopting ordinances, policies, or resolutions that would prevent a school district from selling, leasing, or transferring property to a charter school for legitimate educational uses. The legislation also invalidates any existing deed restrictions that might prevent a property from being used by a charter school for educational purposes. Moreover, any agreements for property transfer involving a charter school must include provisions about property maintenance, and any local ordinance, policy, regulation, deed, or contract that contradicts these provisions will be considered void from the beginning. The bill aims to ensure that charter schools have equal access to property resources and can establish educational facilities without undue local government interference, thereby potentially expanding educational options in Missouri.
