   105 ILCS 5/26-1           from Ch. 122, par. 26-1                           
   105 ILCS 5/26-2           from Ch. 122, par. 26-2                           

        Amends the School Code.  Lowers the compulsory school age by  one      
   year, to 6 years of age (from 7 years).  Effective July 1, 2001.            
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education)                               
          It is unclear how many children HB 795 would impact. There are       
          approximately 160.9 thousand children per grade in grades 1          
          through 3 and 147.6 thousand already in kindergarten. If 30% of      
          the 13.3 thousand difference is added to school rolls as a           
          result of lowering the compulsory attendance age and this is         
          multiplied by the general State aid foundation level of $4,425,      
          the cost would be approximately $17 million, not including any       
          costs for additional facilities that might be necessary.
