There will be a requirement that all meat products, and canned food products produced in or imported to the state of Nevada will be irradiated, in an effort to kill malicious bacteria within said food products. Section 2. There will be funds appropriated to a state organization – the State of Nevada Food Safety Control Board (possibly to be merged with the Nevada Food Safety Task Force) – which will approve standards for irradiation of foods, solicit private contracts for the irradiation of foods, and uphold the requirement that all canned foods and meat products be irradiated. The budget for said organization shall be at least $1,250,000 per year its first and second year, decreasing to $750,000 per year by its third year in existence (the change in cost assumes that a more significant advertising budget will be required upon the launch of the program). The Food Safety Control Board will consist of 5 voting members – each of whom will vote within the committee to resolve issues and amend mandate as necessary. They will be publicly elected officials. Actions will be approved by the committee by a 3/5 majority vote. Voting members may NOT vote on their own salaries; salary will be determined by the body appropriating initial funding for the project. The Food Safety Control Board will be required to uphold the mandate that all meat products and canned foods be irradiated upon its creation, however public forums will be held for suggestions as to what other food products may be irradiated, following approval by the board and a publicized study of the potential effects of irradiating a new type of food. Section 3. Independent contractors will be sought for the actual irradiation process, given they conform to the standards of the Food Safety Control Board satisfactorily, in order to lessen the fiscal impact that this mandate will have on business. Companies and entities producing food will not be required to irradiate using their own facilities; rather, they can have the process completed by one of the independent contractors approved by the board. Price of food irradiation will be regulated by the board as well. The cost of irradiation will be partially subsidized by a tax write-off, to be organized by the board. Contractors will be approved by vote of board, and dismissed if they fail to uphold standards (also by vote of board). Section 4. An advertisement campaign will be started from the funds of the Food Safety Control Board, to clear up misconceptions and improve public sentiment towards the idea of food irradiation. The advertisement budget will consist of no less than 50% of the board’s funding, as the campaign must have a statewide impact and be heard or seen by residents in all counties. The specifics of the advertising will be controlled by the board, and privately contracted PR firms will be an allowable appropriation of advertising funding. Section 5. This bill becomes effective upon passage and approval. |

Every year we hear that there is going to be budget cuts and we lose about $1 million in funding which we need since there are so many kids who attend school throughout Nevada. As a resolution, it is my conviction that in order to gain money for education we need other organizations to supply funds for it. I think that we need to stop spending so much money on projects to make the freeways look better. For example the spaghetti bowl and the theme they gave it with putting turtles and designs in the dirt, thats just a distraction to drivers. We should spend that wasted amount of money on something better, education. Also, why not make a tax for education? I have talked to people who say they don't like paying for tax's, but they would be more than willing to pay for a tax to provide funding for schools. Millions of dollars would come in and we would be able to have a better education system. I was always told nothing is better than my education cause it will get me through life in every aspect, and with budget cuts it changes the way i have to learn and makes teaching students more difficult. |

Section 2. Further, that the total value of the account be indexed to both neighboring states (CA, UT, AZ, etc) and national levels of funding of such programs,(the indicator that sees the largest growth would be the standard by which NEVADA adjusts the set aside account upwardly,relative to population. If all neighboring states and national levels see a decrease, NEVADA's fund would hold at previous year level, through reallocation of previously agreed funding categories or accounts. Section 3. The account is set in place in order to keep elementary and secondary music programs current and reasonably funded. Section 4. As there are many indicators of student achievement beyond the core subjects, this fund can be held accountable in nontraditional means (placement in state, regional, and national music competitions). Such accountability may support competition by NEVADA for additional federal funding opportunities.

The fund is to be equally distributed without regard to students race, religion, creed, nation of citizenship, nor economic environment. No additional funds are to be allocated based on any of these categories. Equal money to every school with a bona-fide music education program. |

The short term work visa will allow immigrants to work in the USA for 6 months at a time. Immigrants with the short term work visas must pay taxes without regard to the amount of income they produce. Applicants will pay an initial fee of $1500. to obtain the short term visa, and $500. for renewal, every 6 months, as long as it is not late or expired. Applicants must have secured employment prior to obtaining the visa, must maintain consecutive employment, pay a guest worker tax deducted from each paycheck, and abide by the laws of our country, with no criminal arrests. Failure to adhere to these conditions would revoke the visa. Recipiants of the short term visa who allow them to expire must re-apply as new applicants and pay the original $1500. fee. section 2. the process of obtaing a short term work visa will be similar to obtaing a regular work visa, with an exception to having to return to their country of origin for application. section 3. Renewing the short term work visa every 6 months will help ensure homeland security by allowing the government to track the location and activity of immigrants, who are currently entering and working in the United States illegally. The lower cost of these visas make them more attainable and accsesible to immigrants who would fill low-income jobs, thus lowering the amount of illegal immigrants in our country. Because they are now "legally" here, they would also be more likely to follow the laws and become contributing members of our communities. Using this work visa will also help them gain citizenship as they form a trust. Funds generated from the fees and taxes collected will help to improve our economy. |

B. The attorney general shall prescribe a complaint form for a person to allege a violation of subsection A of this section. The complainant shall not be required to list the complainant's social security number on the complaint form or to have the complaint form notarized. On receipt of a complaint on a prescribed complaint form that an employer allegedly knowingly employs an unauthorized alien, the attorney general or county attorney shall investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section. If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a prescribed complaint form, the attorney general or county attorney may investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section. This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that are not submitted on a prescribed complaint form. The attorney general or county attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race, color or national origin. A complaint that is submitted to a county attorney shall be submitted to the county attorney in the county in which the alleged unauthorized alien is or was employed by the employer. The county sheriff or any other local law enforcement agency may assist in investigating a complaint. When investigating a complaint, the attorney general or county attorney shall verify the work authorization of the alleged unauthorized alien with the federal government pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). A state, county or local official shall not attempt to independently make a final determination on whether an alien is authorized to work in the United States.

The attorney general shall notify the appropriate county attorney to bring an action pursuant to subsection D of this section if the complaint was originally filed with the attorney general. D. An action for a violation of subsection A of this section shall be brought against the employer by the county attorney in the county where the unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a violation of subsection A of this section. E. For any action in district court under this section, the court shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest practicable date. F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section: 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this subsection, the court: (a) Shall order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized aliens. (b) Shall order the employer to be subject to a three year probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file quarterly reports in a form provided with the county attorney of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. (c) Shall order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this subdivision shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney. Notwithstanding any other law, on filing of the affidavit the suspended licenses shall be reinstated immediately by the appropriate agencies. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the attorney general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to subsection G of this section. (d) May order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described in subdivision (c) of this paragraph that are held by the employer for not to exceed ten business days. The court shall base its decision to suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider the following factors, if relevant: (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer. (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer. (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation. (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any applicable requirements. (v) The duration of the violation. (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer in the violation. (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate. 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately revoke the licenses. 3. The violation shall be considered: (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subsection for that employer's business location. (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subsection for that employer's business location. G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the attorney general's website. H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a rebuttable presumption that an employer did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b), notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply with the requirements. K. It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection A of this section that the employer was entrapped. To claim entrapment, the employer must admit by the employer's testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the violation. An employer who asserts an entrapment defense has the burden of proving the following by a preponderance of the evidence: 1. The idea of committing the violation started with law enforcement officers or their agents rather than with the employer. 2. The law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the employer to commit the violation. 3. The employer was not predisposed to commit the violation before the law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the employer to commit the violation. L. An employer does not establish entrapment if the employer was predisposed to violate subsection A of this section and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely provided the employer with an opportunity to commit the violation. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity. The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be considered in determining if an employer has proven entrapment. Sec. 8. Intentionally employing unauthorized aliens; prohibition; false and frivolous complaints; violation; classification; license suspension and revocation; affirmative defense: A. An employer shall not intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. If, in the case when an employer uses a contract, subcontract or other independent contractor agreement to obtain the labor of an alien in this state, the employer intentionally contracts with an unauthorized alien or with a person who employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien to perform the labor, the employer violates this subsection. B. The attorney general shall prescribe a complaint form for a person to allege a violation of subsection A of this section. The complainant shall not be required to list the complainant's social security number on the complaint form or to have the complaint form notarized. On receipt of a complaint on a prescribed complaint form that an employer allegedly intentionally employs an unauthorized alien, the attorney general or county attorney shall investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section. If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a prescribed complaint form, the attorney general or county attorney may investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section. This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that are not submitted on a prescribed complaint form. The attorney general or county attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race, color or national origin. A complaint that is submitted to a county attorney shall be submitted to the county attorney in the county in which the alleged unauthorized alien is or was employed by the employer. The county sheriff or any other local law enforcement agency may assist in investigating a complaint. When investigating a complaint, the attorney general or county attorney shall verify the work authorization of the alleged unauthorized alien with the federal government pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). A state, county or local official shall not attempt to independently make a final determination on whether an alien is authorized to work in the United States. An alien's immigration status or work authorization status shall be verified with the federal government pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). A person who knowingly files a false and frivolous complaint under this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor. C. If, after an investigation, the attorney general or county attorney determines that the complaint is not false and frivolous: 1. The attorney general or county attorney shall notify the United States immigration and customs enforcement of the unauthorized alien. 2. The attorney general or county attorney shall notify the local law enforcement agency of the unauthorized alien. 3. The attorney general shall notify the appropriate county attorney to bring an action pursuant to subsection D of this section if the complaint was originally filed with the attorney general. D. An action for a violation of subsection A of this section shall be brought against the employer by the county attorney in the county where the unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a violation of subsection A of this section. E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest practicable date. F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section: 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this subsection, the court shall: (a) Order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized aliens. (b) Order the employer to be subject to a five year probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file quarterly reports in the form provided with the county attorney of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. (c) Order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described in subdivision (d) of this paragraph that are held by the employer for a minimum of ten days. The court shall base its decision on the length of the suspension under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider the following factors, if relevant: (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer. (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer. (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation. (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any applicable requirements. (v) The duration of the violation. (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer in the violation. (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate. (d) Order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the attorney general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to subsection G of this section. 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately revoke the licenses. 3. The violation shall be considered: (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subsection for that employer's business location. (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subsection for that employer's business location. G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the attorney general's website. H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a rebuttable presumption that an employer did not intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b), notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply with the requirements. K. It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection A of this section that the employer was entrapped. To claim entrapment, the employer must admit by the employer's testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the violation. An employer who asserts an entrapment defense has the burden of proving the following by a preponderance of the evidence: 1. The idea of committing the violation started with law enforcement officers or their agents rather than with the employer. 2. The law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the employer to commit the violation. 3. The employer was not predisposed to commit the violation before the law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the employer to commit the violation. L. An employer does not establish entrapment if the employer was predisposed to violate subsection A of this section and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely provided the employer with an opportunity to commit the violation. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity. The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be considered in determining if an employer has proven entrapment. Sec. 9. Verification of employment eligibility; e-verify program; economic development incentives; list of registered employers: A. After December 31, 2007, every employer, after hiring an employee, shall verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the e-verify program and shall keep a record of the verification for the duration of the employee's employment or at least three years, whichever is longer. B. In addition to any other requirement for an employer to receive an economic development incentive from a government entity, the employer shall register with and participate in the e-verify program. Before receiving the economic development incentive, the employer shall provide proof to the government entity that the employer is registered with and is participating in the e-verify program. If the government entity determines that the employer is not complying with this subsection, the government entity shall notify the employer by certified mail of the government entity's determination of noncompliance and the employer's right to appeal the determination. On a final determination of noncompliance, the employer shall repay all monies received as an economic development incentive to the government entity within thirty days of the final determination. For the purposes of this subsection: 1. "Economic development incentive" means any grant, loan or performance-based incentive from any government entity that is awarded after September 30, 2008. 2. "Government entity" means this state and any political subdivision of this state that receives and uses tax revenues. C. Every three months the attorney general shall request from the United States department of homeland security a list of employers from this state that are registered with the e-verify program. On receipt of the list of employers, the attorney general shall make the list available on the attorney general's website. Sec. 10. Removal and immobilization or impoundment of vehicle: A.

This paragraph does not apply to the operation of an implement of husbandry. 3. The person is subject to an ignition interlock device requirement and the person is operating a vehicle without a functioning certified ignition interlock device. This paragraph does not apply to a person operating an employer's vehicle or the operation of a vehicle due to a substantial emergency. 4. In furtherance of the illegal presence of an alien in the United States and in violation of a criminal offense, the person is transporting or moving or attempting to transport or move an alien in this state in a vehicle if the person knows or recklessly disregards the fact that the alien has come to, has entered or remains in the United States in violation of law. 5.

C) “Parent” includes a guardian, custodian or other person with the authority to act on behalf of the child. D) “Department” means the Nevada Department of Education. E) “Resident school district” means the public school district in which the student resides. F) “Participating school” means either a public school outside of the resident school district or any nonpublic school that provides education to elementary and/or secondary students and has notified the department of its intention to participate in the program and comply with the program’s requirements. Sec. 3. (Basic Elements of the Parental Choice Scholarship Program) A) Any eligible student may apply to attend any participating school in the Parental Choice Scholarship Program. B) Eligible students may attend a participating school until their graduation from high school or their 20th birthday, whichever comes first. C) Any eligible student will qualify for an annual scholarship in an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the participating school’s annual cost per pupil, including both operational and capital facility costs; or (2) the dollar amount the resident school district would have received to serve and educate the eligible student from state and local sources had the student enrolled there. D) The scholarship is the entitlement of the eligible student under the supervision of the student’s parent and not that of any school. E) A participating school may not refund, rebate or share a student’s scholarship with a parent or the student in any manner. A student’s scholarship may only be used for educational purposes. F) Participating schools that have more eligible students applying than spaces available shall fill the available spaces by a random selection process, except that participating schools may give preference to siblings of enrolled students and previously enrolled scholarship students under this subchapter. G) If a student is denied admission to a participating school because it has too few available spaces, the eligible student may transfer his scholarship to a participating school that has spaces available. H) Eligible students shall be counted in the enrollment figures for their resident school district for the purposes of calculating state aid to the resident school district. The funds needed for a scholarship shall be subtracted from the state school aid payable to the student’s resident school district. Any aid the school district would have received for the student in excess of the funds needed for a scholarship will be kept by the state. I) The department shall adopt rules consistent with this act regarding: (1) the eligibility and participation of non-public schools, including timelines that will maximize student and public and non-public school participation; (2) the calculation and distribution of scholarships to eligible students; and (3) the application and approval procedures for scholarships for eligible students and participating schools. Sec. 4. (Accountability Standards for Participating Non-Public Schools) A) Administrative Accountability Standards. To ensure that students are treated fairly and kept safe, all participating schools shall: (1) comply with all health and safety laws or codes that apply to non-public schools; (2) hold a valid occupancy permit if required by their municipality; (3) certify that they will not discriminate in admissions on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion or disability; and (4) comply with all state laws that apply to non-public schools regarding criminal background checks for employees and exclude from employment any people not permitted by state law to work in a nonpublic school. B) Financial Accountability Standards. To ensure that public funds are spent appropriately, all participating non-public schools shall: (1) demonstrate their financial accountability by: (a) submitting a financial information report for the school that complies with uniform financial accounting standards established by the department and conducted by a certified public accountant; and (b) having the auditor certify that the report is free of material misstatements and fairly represents the costs per pupil under section 3(C)(1). The auditor’s report shall be limited in scope to those records that are necessary for the department to make payments to participating schools on behalf of parents for scholarships. (2) demonstrate their financial viability by showing they can repay any funds that might be owed the state, if they are to receive $50,000 or more during the school year, by: (a) filing with the department prior to the start of the school year a surety bond payable to the state in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Parental Choice Scholarships expected to be paid during the school year to students admitted at the participating school; or (b) filing with the department prior to the start of the school year financial information that demonstrates the school has the ability to pay an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Parental Choice Scholarships expected to be paid during the school year to students admitted at the participating school. C) Academic Accountability Standards. To ensure that schools provide academic accountability to parents of the students in the program, all participating schools shall regularly report to the parent on the student’s progress. D) Participating School Autonomy. A participating school is autonomous and not an agent of the state or federal government and therefore: (1) the department or any other state agency may not in any way regulate the educational program of a participating school that accepts a Parental Choice Scholarship; and (2) the creation of this program does not expand the regulatory authority of the state, its officers or any school district to impose any additional regulation of non-public schools beyond those necessary to enforce the requirements of the program; and (3) participating schools shall be given the maximum freedom to provide for the educational needs of their students without governmental control. Sec. 5.

Special attention shall be paid to ensuring that lower income families are made aware of the program and their options. B) The department shall create a standard application that students interested in the Parental Choice Scholarship Program can use to submit to participating schools to establish their eligibility and apply for admissions. Participating schools may require supplemental information from applicants. The department shall ensure that the application is readily available to interested families through various sources, including the Internet. C) The department may bar a school from participation in the Parental Choice Scholarship Program if the department establishes that the participating school has: (1) intentionally and substantially misrepresented information required under Section 4; or (2) routinely failed to comply with at least three of the accountability standards established in Section 4; or (3) failed to comply with Section 3(E); or (4) failed to refund to the state any scholarship overpayments in a timely manner. D) If the department decides to bar a participating school from the program, it shall notify eligible students and their parents of this decision as quickly as possible. E) The department shall adopt rules and procedures as necessary for the administration of the Parental Choice Scholarship Program. Section 6: (Responsibilities of Resident School Districts) A) The resident school district shall provide to the participating school that has admitted an eligible student under this program with a complete copy of the student’s school records while complying with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 USC Section 1232 g) B) The resident school district shall provide transportation for the eligible student to and from the participating school under the same conditions as the resident school district is required to provide transportation for other resident students to non-public schools as per current law.
