Hancock Schools Rescue Bill Stalls in Senate Education

HB 4574, designed to provide funds and set criteria to bail Hancock County Schools out of its fiscal emergency, made the agenda this morning (Jan. 27) in Senate Education. The bill is double referenced and if passed out of the Education Committee will then face another hurdle in Senate Finance.

The bill did not make it to a vote, but after numerous questions from Committee members, the Chair opted to postpone the bill to a later date to allow for more questions. Following the question period, committee members will have the opportunity to offer amendments prior to a vote being taken.
