Prohibits a political subdivision from adopting policies for property transferred by political subdivisions from being used for lawful education purposes by a charter school
HB 1254 prevents cities, counties, and school districts from creating rules or property deeds that block charter schools from using buildings or land they’ve purchased, leased, or been transferred for educational purposes. It specifically bans local policies or deed restrictions that exclude educational use by charter schools or allow only non-educational uses. Existing restrictions violating this rule become invalid immediately. Property transfer agreements must also include maintenance requirements for the school. This directly affects charter schools seeking facility access and local governments managing property transfers.
