Sec. 14.1. (a) This section applies to nonprofit colleges and universities described in IC 20-24-1-2.5(5).
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), the ultimate responsibility for choosing to authorize and for maintaining authorization rests with the nonprofit college's or university's board of trustees.
(c) Beginning January 1, 2017, the nonprofit college's or university's board of trustees shall assign authorization authority and authorization responsibilities to a separate legal entity that functions under the direction of the nonprofit college's or university's board. A decision made under this subsection shall be communicated in writing to the department and the state board.
(d) An entity created under subsection (c) is subject to the requirements of IC 5-14-1.5 and IC 5-14-3. Creation of an entity under subsection (c) by a nonprofit college or university described in IC 20-24-1-2.5(5) does not subject the nonprofit college or university itself to the requirements of IC 5-14-1.5 and IC 5-14-3 unless otherwise required by law.
(e) Before an entity created under subsection (c) may authorize a charter school, the entity must conduct a public meeting with public notice in the school corporation where the charter school will be located. If the location of the proposed charter school has not been identified, the public hearing must be held within the county where the proposed charter school would be located.
