This bill amends subsection 3 of section 15-19-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the payment of fees for courses offered by the center for distance education. The current law stipulates that the student's school district of residence is responsible for paying these fees. The amendment modifies this provision by allowing the center for distance education to charge fees for a course, which must be paid either by the student's parent or legal guardian or by the school district of residence if the school does not offer the course during that semester or at a time that fits the student's preferred class schedule.

The changes include the deletion of the requirement that the school district must pay the fees and the insertion of new language that clarifies the conditions under which fees may be charged. Specifically, the bill outlines that fees can be charged for courses and specifies the parties responsible for payment, thereby providing more flexibility in how these fees are handled.
