Saying the bill will result in better communication and understanding of fiscal impacts on school districts when the State Board of Education considers rule changes, sponsor Rep. Kathy Haigh, D-35, encouraged lawmakers to vote yes.
Also rising in support was bill co-sponsor Rep. Bruce Dammeier, R-25, who urged a strong "yes" vote.

The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
