Sec. 111.

A district having tuition pupils enrolled on the pupil membership count day of each year may charge the district of residence an amount for tuition that does not exceed the tuition rate computed under section 1401 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1401. The rate charged by a district shall be uniform within each category of tuition pupils enrolled in the district. However, for a tuition pupil who resides in a K-5, K-6, or K-8 district and who is enrolled in a grade not offered by the pupil's district of residence, the tuition rate charged to the pupil's district of residence shall not exceed the foundation allowance of the pupil's district of residence or the foundation allowance of the educating district, whichever is greater.

A district receiving funds under this act shall not charge tuition to the parent or legal guardian of a pupil enrolled in the district as a nonresident pupil.

Compiler's Notes: In his veto message relative to Enrolled House Bill 4572, which became Act 118 of 1991, the governor stated that “the tradition of not re-enacting annually the unchanged appropriation sections of the school aid act is constitutionally flawed. It assumes the invalid creation of a continuing appropriation. Therefore, the following sections of the school aid act and their associated allocations must be considered inoperative: 24, 55, 74, 75, 105a, 111, and 116.
