Short description: 
SCH CD-BOUNDARY CHANGES-TECH                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the School Code.  Makes a technical change  in  a  Section      
   concerning boundary changes.                                                
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          105 ILCS 5/7-01                                                      
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          105 ILCS 5/7-2a                 from Ch. 122, par. 7-2a              
        Deletes everything after the enacting clause.  Amends the  School      
   Code.   Provides  that if a petition is initiated by two-thirds of the      
   registered voters in a school district seeking to annex  the  district      
   in  its entirety to another school district or districts and the board      
   of education of the annexing district or districts has not  adopted  a      
   resolution  agreeing  to  the  annexation,  then  the  annexation,  if      
   approved  by  the  regional board of school trustees, is not effective      
   until it is approved by the voters in each affected school district at      
   an election held for the purpose of voting on the question.   Requires      
   a  regional board of school trustees to conduct a hearing to determine      
   the validity of a petition for dissolution (instead of  requiring  the      
   board  to  exercise  its  discretion  on  the  issue  of  annexing the      
   territory of a district being dissolved).                                   
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes everything after  the  enacting  clause.   Reinserts  the      
   contents  of  the  bill  as  engrossed,  but  (i) restores current law      
   allowing the school district to be dissolved and its territory annexed      
   upon the filing of a petition  signed  by  registered  voters  of  the      
   district  (but changes the number of signatures required to two-thirds      
   instead of a majority of the voters) and  (ii)  restores  current  law      
   requiring  a  regional  board  of  school  trustees  to  exercise  its      
   discretion  on  the  issue  of  annexing the territory of the district      
   (instead of requiring the board to conduct a hearing to determine  the      
   validity of a petition for dissolution).
