Amend the resolve by inserting after section 1 the following:

SUMMARY
This amendment is the majority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs. It authorizes final adoption of the provisionally adopted rule if certain revisions are made. It requires a revision to the definition of "One Campus" and to elements of Section 15 that outline the criteria with which projects are rated. It requires that each of the 4 educational components, the regional high school, the career and technical high school, the higher education center and the industry training center, have a physical presence on the campus. It precludes any one component from offering only distance learning opportunities on campus.
It declares the emergency rule authorized and adopted under Resolve 2007, chapter 223 to be invalid.
