The purpose of these changes is to clarify existing rule language and add a rule that is required by Statute concerning the District’ handling of District Funds. The majority of these changes will address concerns raised by the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee that the use of terms like “may” could be considered as allowing discretion in implementation of the rules. The overall effect of the proposed rule changes will be to simplify, and clarify existing language and to codify existing procedures, all without adversely affecting how the District accomplishes it’s core Mission.
