Bill > HB1363

This bill prevents municipalities from creating ordinances, policies, or resolutions that would restrict charter schools from purchasing, leasing, or receiving property for educational purposes. Specifically, the legislation prohibits local governments from implementing deed restrictions that would prevent a charter school from using property for educational activities. Any existing deed restrictions that limit or prohibit charter schools from using property for educational purposes would be automatically voided under this bill. The legislation requires that any property transfer agreement involving a charter school must include provisions about property maintenance and upkeep. Furthermore, any local ordinance, policy, regulation, deed, or contract that contradicts these provisions would be considered invalid from the moment of its creation. The bill aims to provide charter schools with more flexibility in acquiring and using property for educational purposes by removing potential local government barriers.
