What’s in it

AI summary New rules from the state board of education or other state agencies will only apply to public school districts if those same rules also apply to private schools. This change ensures that public schools aren't forced to follow certain reporting requirements that private schools don't have to follow. However, all schools must still follow federal laws.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that state laws regarding elementary and secondary education and school districts relating to the submission of reports, and administrative rules adopted by the state board of education and the board of educational examiners establishing a requirement not specified in such state law, shall only apply to school districts if the state law or the administrative rule also applies to nonpublic schools. The bill shall not be construed to exempt a school district from complying with applicable federal laws or regulations.
