AN ACT CONCERNING TEXTBOOK LOANS

SUMMARY: The law allows boards of education to loan textbooks to students residing in and attending nonpublic elementary and secondary schools in their districts. Prior law allowed the loans only at the request of the student or parent or guardian; the act allows nonpublic school administrators to make the request on students' behalf as well. The act also eliminates the requirement that the textbooks be in use in the district and instead allows a board to loan any non-religious textbook available to it from its book distributor.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2007
