Bill > HB1093

This bill modifies state law to extend building code compliance and construction aid eligibility to public charter schools, placing them on equal footing with traditional public schools. Specifically, the bill amends the state building code to explicitly include public charter school facilities in the definition of buildings that must comply with state building and fire codes. It also updates state statutes to ensure that charter schools established under RSA 194-B are eligible for the same percentage of state construction grants and disbursement schedules as traditional school districts. The bill clarifies that charter school facilities owned, operated, or occupied by these schools will be subject to the same building requirements and funding mechanisms as other public school buildings. These changes aim to provide charter schools with the same regulatory treatment and financial support for facility construction and maintenance as traditional public schools. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing time for implementation and compliance by relevant agencies and charter schools.
