Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2415 amends the Education Code to limit the authority of a junior college district to operate branch campuses or other facilities and to own or rent land and facilities to the district's service area. The act allows a district to offer a course in another district's service area only if that district is unable to offer the course. It also prohibits a district's service area from overlapping another district's taxing jurisdiction and requires a district operating a campus or facility within an area that, as a result of annexation or district creation, becomes part of another district's taxing jurisdiction to discontinue the campus or facility within one year of the annexation or creation. House Bill 2415 requires the annexing or newly created district to compensate the original district for unrecoverable capital improvements.
