MN SF334

Removes the "no more than three" limit on single-purpose authorizers, allowing the commissioner to approve additional single-purpose charter school authorizers.

Permits single-purpose authorizers to focus on schools designed to close achievement gaps through prekindergarten and primary grades, or grades 9-14 partnerships with postsecondary institutions where students earn college credits.

Changes authorizer application requirements from "at least" to "limited to only" specified items, restricting the scope of information commissioners can require from applicants.

Automatically approves an organization that submitted a single-purpose authorizer application in September 2010 and met approval criteria but could not be approved due to the three-authorizer cap.

Maintains existing authorizer approval procedures requiring commissioner review within 60 business days and five-year performance reviews.
