Section 27. Coordinating H.B. 419 with S.B. 171--Technical amendments.
If this H.B. 419 and S.B. 171, Student-Centered Learning Pilot Program, both pass and become law, it is
the intent of the Legislature that the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel in preparing
the Utah Code database for publication, modify Subsection 53A-1a-508(3) to read:
"(3) (a) Except as provided in Subsection (3)(b), a charter agreement may not be modified except by
mutual agreement between the charter school authorizer and the governing board of the charter school.
(b) (i) Subject to Subsection (3)(c), at the request of the governing board of a charter school that is
selected to participate in the Student-Centered Learning Pilot Program created in Section 53A-15-1403,
the charter school's authorizer shall attach an addendum to the school's charter indicating the charter is
modified to be consistent with the requirements of the Student-Centered Learning Pilot Program and
describing those modifications.
(ii) A charter school authorizer shall make the modifications described in Subsection (3)(b)(i)
without requiring the charter school to participate in a charter amendment process.
(c) (i) If an increase in a charter school's enrollment capacity is required to participate in the
Student-Centered Learning Pilot Program, the charter school shall submit a request for an increase in
enrollment capacity to the State Board of Education.
(ii) The State Board of Education may approve an increase in enrollment capacity for the charter
school subject to the availability of sufficient funds appropriated under Section 53A-1a-513."
