This bill adds a requirement that the Legislature's Joint Committee on Appropriations (or an interim committee) must review and approve any waivers that the School Finance Accountability Board recommends for school districts seeking relief from state cash balance requirements. The change gives lawmakers oversight authority over board decisions that previously went into effect without legislative review.
