Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Education and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2828 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify the existing law for determining school impact fees for financing new or expanding existing Department of Education schools or facilities.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by one private organization.  Testimony in opposition to this measure was submitted by one state agency.  One state agency expressed concerns with this measure.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure attempts to balance the interests of developers, the State, and other stakeholders to provide new or expanded school facilities that keep pace with residential growth in school impact districts.

 

     Your Committee further finds that interested parties have been working diligently to resolve issues relating to school impact fees, clarify the existing school impact fees law, and ensure that more accurate information is collected and used to inform school impact fee determinations.  As such, your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to allow the parties additional time to further discuss and resolve issues with the measure; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2828, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2828, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education and Housing,
