A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4213 AS INTRODUCED 2-13-03
House Bill 4213 would amend the Revised School Code to specify that if there were a dispute concerning the boundaries of its constituent districts for any reason, including but not limited to a dispute concerning the constituent district in which a particular parcel of taxable property was located, then an intermediate school board would be required to decide the dispute. Under the bill, the decision of the board would be final. However, the bill specifies that a boundary change under Parts 9, 10, 10A, and 11 of the code would be governed by the applicable part of the current law. [These parts of the code concern consolidation of school districts, MCL 380.851; annexations, MCL 380.901; annexations and transfers, MCL 380.941; and proposed transfers of territory in consideration of pupil welfare, 380.951.]
MCL 380.626
