"MS Charter School Act of 2013"; bring forward provisions related to.
This is a procedural bill that reorganizes existing Mississippi Code sections related to charter schools (37-28-1 through 37-28-61) for clarity and future amendment purposes. It does not change current charter school policies or create new rules - it simply updates the code structure to reference the "Mississippi Charter Schools Act of 2013" as the governing framework. The bill affects no new entities or individuals, as it only formally consolidates previously enacted provisions about charter school governance, authorizer responsibilities, and definitions. (Note: This is a procedural renumbering, not a substantive policy change.)
