Micro-education Entity Amendments
What changed between versions
Relaxed occupancy requirements for micro-education entities, allowing them to operate in facilities that meet Group E Occupancy or Class A-1, A-3, B, or M Occupancy standards under specific safety conditions.
Adjusted square footage requirements for home-based microschools, changing from '20 net square feet per student' to '35 net square feet per student' in some contexts, and removed certain square footage mandates for micro-education entities.
Updated inspection and occupancy certificate procedures to allow micro-education entities and home-based microschools to use school district building inspectors or municipal building inspectors for occupancy certification.
Excluded micro-education entities and home-based microschools from the definition of 'school' in the public health code, preventing them from being subject to certain administrative regulations that apply to traditional schools.
Clarified that micro-education entities and home-based microschools are permitted uses in all zoning districts within municipalities and counties, with priority processing for their land use applications.
