1-7 (d) The board or its designee shall set a term for the
1-8 expulsion.
1-9 (1) Except as provided by Subdivision (3) of this
1-10 subsection, the <The> expulsion may not extend beyond the end of
1-11 the school year unless the conduct directly leading to the

1-14 end of the current school year but not beyond the end of the first
1-15 semester of the next school year.

1-17 for possession, use, or for being under the influence of an
1-18 alcoholic beverage as defined in this section may not be expelled
1-19 beyond the end of the semester, unless the conduct directly leading
1-20 to the expulsion occurred during the final six-week reporting
1-21 period of a semester, which may result in expulsion not to extend
1-22 beyond the end of the next regular semester.
1-23 (3) A student may be permanently expelled from school
1-24 if the conduct directly leading to the student's expulsion was
2-1 conduct for which a student may be expelled under Subdivision (1)
2-2 or (4) of Subsection (b) of this section.
2-3 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect beginning with the
2-4 1993-1994 school year.
2-5 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
2-6 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
2-7 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
2-8 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
2-9 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
