HCS/HB 554 - This act modifies the existing grant of permission to reduce the number of days in the school calendar because of inclement weather during the 2000-2001 school year so that it applies to the 2002-2003 school year. The act also waives the required two-thirds make-up for 2003-2004 and removes existing language that permitted districts in 2000-2001 to use a previous year's attendance figures under certain conditions relating to school closure for inclement weather.

The act contains an emergency clause.
