Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Title 15, chapter 1, article 8, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 15-186, to read:
15-186. Enrollment; complaint; review and investigation; remedies
If a pupil is not accepted for enrollment at a charter school, the parent or guardian of the pupil may file a complaint with the state board for charter schools. The state board shall review and investigate any complaint filed pursuant to this section. If the state board determines that the charter school's enrollment decision was in violation of state or federal law, the state board may pursue any REMEDY against the charter school allowed by law, including revoking the charter or directing the superintendent of public instruction to withhold up to five per cent of state monies that the charter school would otherwise be entitled to receive each month until the violation has been remedied.
