"SECTION X. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, a vocational technical school district, regional vocational technical school district, or agricultural school may revise and implement admissions policies for career technical education programs considering the status of sibling admission within the lottery-based admissions system. This admission policy may be adopted by the school committee or governing board of the district and shall be set forth in writing.

The department of elementary and secondary education promulgate or revise regulations, including but not limited to 603 CMR 4.00, as necessary to implement this section.

This section shall take effect 90 days after the passage of this act.”
