Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) but notwithstanding any other law, each governing body of a school corporation and each organizer of a charter school shall purchase from a publisher, either individually or through a purchasing cooperative of school corporations, as applicable, the curricular materials selected by the proper local officials, and shall provide at no cost the curricular materials to each student enrolled in the school corporation or charter school. Curricular materials provided to a student under this section remain the property of the governing body of the school corporation or organizer of the charter school.
(b) This section does not prohibit a governing body of a school corporation or an organizer of a charter school from assessing and collecting a reasonable fee for lost or significantly damaged curricular materials in accordance with rules established by the state board under subsection (d). Fees collected under this subsection must be deposited in the:
(1) education fund of the school corporation; or
(2) education fund of the charter school, or, if the charter school does not have an education fund, the same fund into which state tuition support is deposited for the charter school;
in which the student was enrolled at the time the fee was imposed.
(c) This section does not prohibit a governing body of a school corporation or an organizer of a charter school from assessing and collecting a reasonable fee for supplies and materials that:
(1) are not curricular materials; and
(2) supplement the instruction in a particular course of study.
(d) The state board shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to implement this section.
