(a) Rulemaking

                           (1) In general

        Each State that receives funds under this subchapter shall--
            (A) ensure that any State rules, regulations, and policies 
        relating to this subchapter conform to the purposes of this 
        subchapter and provide any such proposed rules, regulations, and 
        policies to the committee of practitioners under subsection (b) 
        of this section for their review and comment;
            (B) minimize such rules, regulations, and policies to which 
        their local educational agencies and schools are subject; and
            (C) identify any such rule, regulation, or policy as a 
        State-imposed requirement.

                    (2) Support and facilitation

        State rules, regulations, and policies under this subchapter 
    shall support and facilitate local educational agency and school-
    level systemic reform designed to enable all children to meet the 
    challenging State content standards and challenging State student 
    performance standards.

(b) Committee of practitioners

                           (1) In general

        Each State educational agency shall create a State committee of 
    practitioners to advise the State in carrying out its 
    responsibilities under this subchapter.

                           (2) Membership

        Each such committee shall include--
            (A) as a majority of its members, representatives from local 
        educational agencies;
            (B) administrators;
            (C) teachers, including vocational educators;
            (D) parents;

        The duties of such committee shall include a review, prior to 
    publication, of any proposed or final State rule or regulation 
    pursuant to this subchapter. In an emergency situation where such 
    rule or regulation must be issued within a very limited time to 
    assist local educational agencies with the operation of the program 
    under this subchapter, the State educational agency may issue a 
    regulation without prior consultation, but shall immediately 
    thereafter convene the State committee of practitioners to review 
    the emergency regulation prior to issuance in final form.

(c) Payment for State administration

    Each State may reserve for the proper and efficient performance of 
its duties under this subchapter the greater of--
        (1) 1.00 percent of the funds received under subsections (a), 
    (c), and (d) of section 6302 of this title; or
        (2) $400,000, or $50,000 in the case of the outlying areas.
