H.199 is a proposed bill aimed at regulating the tuition rates charged by receiving public schools in Vermont. The bill seeks to limit these rates to the average announced tuition of union elementary or high schools, depending on the context. Additionally, it prohibits receiving public schools from imposing extra fees on sending school districts for special education or other services that are not clearly accounted for.

Furthermore, the bill proposes a significant change regarding the financial calculations of nonoperating school districts. It aims to eliminate the tuition paid by these districts from their education spending when determining excess spending under 32 V.S.A. § 5401(12). This adjustment is intended to provide a clearer financial framework for nonoperating districts and ensure that tuition rates remain manageable for sending schools.
