Amend the amendment by inserting after Part C the following:

PART D

Sec. D-1. 20-A MRSA §5205, sub-§6, ¶B,  as amended by PL 2013, c. 337, §1 and c. 356, §1, is repealed and the following enacted in its place:

B On the request of the parent of a student requesting transfer under paragraph A, the commissioner shall review the transfer. The commissioner shall review the superintendents' determination and communicate with the superintendents and with the parent of the student prior to making a decision. The commissioner may approve or disapprove the transfer and shall provide to the parent of the student and to the superintendents a written decision describing the basis of the commissioner's determination that the transfer is or is not in the student's best interest.

Amend the amendment by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or section number to read consecutively.

summary

This amendment corrects a conflict created when Public Law 2013, chapters 337 and 356 amended the law concerning the review of requests for students to transfer from one school administrative district to another.

The amendment repeals and replaces the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, section 5205, subsection 6, paragraph B with the version included in Public Law 2013, chapter 337. The change made in chapter 356 was a grammatical correction that is no longer needed.
