CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 603 - Under this act, when a child's school district of residence, other than the district of domicile, provides educational services while the child temporarily resides in a psychiatric residential treatment facility for more than three days, the district of domicile shall remit to the district of residence an amount equal to the average per-pupil sum produced by the local tax effort of the district of domicile. In cases where the Department of Mental Health or the Department of Social Services places a child in a psychiatric residential treatment facility, the child's district of residence may receive from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education an amount equal to the sum by which the per-pupil costs of educational services provided to the child exceeds the amount received from the domiciliary district, subject to appropriation. This act is identical to provisions in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 411 & 230 (2023) and in HB 716 (2023), and is similar to provisions in HCS/SS/SB 198 (2023), in SS/HB 447 (2023), and in HCS/HB 715 (2023).
