Bill Summary

This bill adds federally qualified health centers to the list of entities to which a local board of education may lease certain school property for a nominal fee and without following the competitive bidding process. The bill also provides that in the event of joint occupancy with a public school and federally qualified health center, to the extent permitted by federal law, a federally qualified health center is to be located in a portion of the school building that is separate and distinct from the portion of the school building in which students may be present.

AI Summary

This bill allows local boards of education to lease certain school property, including parts of school buildings, to federally qualified health centers, which are clinics that provide primary care services in underserved areas, for a nominal fee and without the usual requirement for competitive bidding. This change is an addition to a list of entities, such as government agencies and non-profit organizations, that already have this privilege. The bill also specifies that if a federally qualified health center shares a school building with students, the health center must be located in a separate area of the building, as permitted by federal law, to ensure student safety.
