Short description: 
SCH CD-ANNEX TERR-PROCEDURE                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the School Code.  In provisions concerning the  annexation      
   of  non-coterminous  territory  from  an  elementary  or  high  school      
   district,  adds  the  requirement  that  the  petitioners  and  school      
   district  follow certain procedures after filing the petition with the      
   regional board of school trustees and regional  superintendent  having      
   supervision  over  the greatest portion of the territory.  Removes the      
   prohibition on the  State  Board  of  Education  having  authority  or      
   discretion  to  hear  any evidence or consider any issues except those      
   that may  be  necessary  to  determine  whether  the  limitations  and      
   conditions   of   the   provisions   concerning   the   annexation  of      
   non-coterminous territory from an elementary or high  school  district      
   have  been met.  Provides that the changes made by this amendatory Act      
   apply to all cases pending before the State Board of  Education  or  a      
   court.  Effective immediately.                                              
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education)                               
          There may be additional time spent by hearing officers; no           
          fiscal impact on local school districts.                             
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education)                
          No change from SBE fiscal note.                                      
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the changes made by this amendatory Act apply  only      
   to  petitions  filed  with  the  State  Board of Education on or after      
   January 1, 1998 (instead of applying to all cases pending  before  the      
   State  Board of Education or a court on or after the effective date of      
   this amendatory Act).                                                       
          HOME RULE NOTE, H-AM 1                                               
          The bill fails to preempt home rule authority.
