PUBLIC SCHOOL UNIFORMS - S.B. 211: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 211 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Glenn D. Steil
Committee: Education
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Revised School Code to specify the public schools of this State would be encouraged to adopt policies requiring pupils to wear school uniforms at school and school-related functions.
Proposed MCL 380.1310 - Legislative Analyst: S. Lowe
FISCAL IMPACT
Depending on the dress code adopted by a local school district, a pupil who could not afford to purchase the required uniform would have to have that uniform provided by the school district. The school district would have to pay for those uniforms from its general operating revenue. Most schools that have adopted uniform policies have adopted liberal policies such that all students can adhere to the school uniform policy regardless of financial circumstances.
The bill would have no fiscal impact on State government.
