What’s in it

AI summary County boards of supervisors will no longer be required to look at renting empty buildings owned by local school districts before they lease, buy, or build their own facilities. This change removes the rule that forced counties to consider school property first.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to considerations required before a county board of supervisors leases, purchases, or constructs a facility or building. Under current law, a county board of supervisors shall not lease, purchase, or construct a facility or building before considering the leasing of a vacant facility or building that is located in the county and owned by a public school corporation. The bill strikes this prohibition and the associated provisions.
