HB 283 -HA 1, HA 2

3/12/20

Matthews

This Amendment does all of the following: - Amends the section header for § 2905, Title 14 to more accurately reflect the section’s subject matter. - Clarifies the Department of Education’s authority to promulgate rules and regulations regarding the transportation of students who are in public elementary and secondary schools. Section 2905 already expressly grants promulgation authority to the Department regarding nonpublic, nonprofit schools. - Clarifies that the new provision of transportation benefits for students in grades K through 8 apply only to a student who attends the public school in which the student is enrolled based on the residence of the student’s parent; it does not apply to a student who attends a charter school or, by choice, a school in a different district. - Makes several additional technical changes to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual, including changes to consistently refer to “students” instead of using both “students” and “pupils” within the same section.
