HB 899 -- St. Louis Students' Bill of Rights

Sponsor:  Vogt

This bill renames the St. Louis Students' Bill of Rights as the
Metropolitan School District Students' Bill of Rights, consistent
with statutory terminology and provides a new mechanism for
presenting the bill of rights to the voters of the district.  The
current statute required that the issue be placed before voters
by March 15, 1999.  The bill specifies that the issue should be
presented on the first regularly scheduled election day after the
effective date of the bill at which it meets the legal
requirements for placement on the ballot or as soon as legally
permissible, in case court action prevents the first alternative.
The bill permits a special election for the purpose.

The bill contains an emergency clause.
