Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how cooperative school districts can be dissolved and how schools can be closed. It allows a majority of voters in a single district to withdraw from a cooperative district and requires all voters in a school district to approve school closures. The bill also allows municipalities to keep a school open even if the district votes to close it, provided they enter into an operating agreement with the district. Finally, it requires school boards to review their operating documents every three years.
