Relating to: technical colleges’ lease of their facilities to others. (FE)
AB 21 amends a statute to prohibit technical college districts from leasing their facilities to others for non-school purposes, with one exception: leases for child care centers remain permitted. This bill directly affects public technical college districts by restricting their ability to generate revenue through facility rentals, limiting such leases to only those supporting child care operations. The key provision clarifies that districts cannot enter new leases after the bill's effective date, except for child care centers, which would continue to be allowed under the existing exception. The bill focuses on defining permissible lease arrangements without creating new programs or funding mechanisms.
