Substitute offered in the House on February 17, 2011
Makes the notice specifically the responsibility of the DOC, rather than a "public agency." Notice is required any time the person is released from total confinement. There is no exception if the person is age 21 years or younger or if he or she is going to be in the community for fewer than seven days and not attending school during that period. Notice is required to be sent to the last school the person attended, as well as the superintendent of the school district.
The substitute passed by voice vote in the House on February 17, 2011
