What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows a technical college to lease its facilities to others for the operation of a child care center.

Current law allows a technical college to rent to others property not needed for school purposes. Before July 1, 1999, a technical college, with the approval of the Technical College System Board, could also lease its facilities to others for school purposes, but this is prohibited after June 30, 1999.

The bill creates an exception to this prohibition, allowing a technical college, with the approval of the TCS Board, to lease its facilities to others for the operation of a child care center.
