CHAPTER 548
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO 7
DIRECTING THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO EXTEND THE SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTORS DEADLINE OF NOTIFICATION TO THE STATE BOARD FOR THE IMPENDING ACADEMIC YEAR FROM JANUARY 31 TO APRIL 30.
WHEREAS, it has been the policy of the State Board of Education to require school bus contractors to give notice by January 31 of each year if they plan to discontinue their services the following September; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that upon passage of this Resolution the Secretary of the Senate shall forward a copy of the Resolution to the State Board of Education.
Approved January 27, 1977.
