ND HB1188

Replaces the proportionate share funding formula for area career and technology centers with a "center membership fee" system for participating school districts, based on high school enrollment

Grants center boards discretionary authority to assess additional fees based on "access and use of programs" rather than mandating proportionate share assessments

Changes how nonparticipating school districts receiving services are charged, shifting from "proportionate share based on utilization" to simply a "fee based on use of programs"

Eliminates the entire statutory section governing fee assessments for centers that utilize mobile units solely

Passed unanimously in both chambers (House 88-0, Senate 45-0) and awaits gubernatorial action
