| IN RE: | HB566 by Hamilton (Relating to compulsory school attendance for students who are at least 18 years of age.), As Engrossed |
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
The bill would amend compulsory attendance provisions applicable to students who voluntarily enroll in or attend school after their 18th birthday to authorize a school district to adopt a policy requiring that such students attend school until the end of the school year. Students who voluntarily enroll in or attend school after their 18th birthday would be subject to offenses related to failure to attend school, but the student’s parents would not be subject to nonattendance warnings or other offenses for contributing to nonattendance of a student.
