A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the transportation to and from school of pupils participating in open enrollment.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 282.18, subsection 8, paragraph b, Code 2023, is amended to read as follows:
   b.  A receiving district may send school vehicles into the district of residence of the pupil using the open enrollment option under this section, for the purpose of transporting the pupil to and from school in the receiving district, if the boards of both the sending and receiving districts agree to this arrangement.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill relates to the transportation to and from school of pupils participating in open enrollment. Current law authorizes a receiving school district to send school vehicles into the district of residence of a pupil who open enrolls, for the purpose of transporting the pupil to and from school in the receiving school district, if the boards of directors of the sending school district and receiving school district agree to this arrangement. The bill strikes the requirement that the boards of directors of the sending school district and receiving school district agree to the arrangement.
