RE: LSA Document #10-724 – Proposed Rule Regarding School Scholarship Program

Dear Senator Young:

On behalf of the Indiana Department of Education, I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-19, which requires an agency to begin the rulemaking process not later than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the statute that authorizes the rule.

The school scholarship statute, IC 20-51 (P.L.182-2009(ss)) became effective on July 1, 2009. The notice of intent for this rule was published in the Indiana Register on November 24, 2010 (DIN: 20101124-IR-512100724NIA).

If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 232-0524.

Sincerely,

Matt Tusing

Office of Legal Affairs
