2004 House Bill 5839 ↩

Senate Roll Call 790: Passed

To prohibit Intermediate School District (ISD) operating purpose millage authorizations to have a duration of more than 20 years. Also, to require ISDs that impose new vocational education and special education operations millages to undergo an audit of the type described in the House-passed version of House Bill 5457. If it was found that a millage was being used for other than its stated purpose, then the matter would be referred to the Attorney General for civil proceedings, and an ISD could be required to repay its special education or vocational-technical education programs. However, the "repayment" would be with money that is probably for those programs anyway.
