HOUSE BILL NO. 1289 Offered January 21, 2010 A BILL to amend and reenact §22.1-6 of the Code of Virginia, relating to permitted fees and charges by local school boards. ---------- Patron-- Plum ---------- Referred to Committee on Education ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That §22.1-6 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§22.1-6. Permitted fees and charges.

Except as provided in this title or as permitted by regulation of the Board of Education, no fees or charges may be levied on any pupil by any school board. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the school board from (i) making supplies, services, or materials available to pupils at cost or (ii) imposing a fee or charge for a field trip or any educational program that is not a required activity; although a school board may waive such fees or charges in total or in part for those pupils it determines are unable to afford them. No pupil's scholastic report card or diploma shall be withheld because of nonpayment of any such fee or charge.
