The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding charter schools in Arizona by updating the language related to emergency response plans and property ownership. Specifically, it would change the requirement for charter schools to "develop" an emergency response plan to "develops," ensuring that the responsibility lies with the charter school in conjunction with local law enforcement and emergency response agencies. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that all property, school buildings, and grounds acquired by a charter school with public funds will transfer to the state upon the cessation of the charter school's operations, replacing the previous language that indicated such property would remain with the charter school.

Furthermore, the bill would modify the definition of "Officer, director, member" by adding "and" to the existing language, which clarifies the roles associated with charter holders. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the accountability and operational standards of charter schools in Arizona.
