Public and nonpublic K-12 schools, prohibited from refusing to transfer student records based on unpaid balance owed by student

HB 56 proposes that all public and nonpublic K-12 schools, including private and religious institutions, would be prohibited from refusing to transfer a student's records. This applies to students who are transferring to another school. The bill specifies that a school cannot withhold these records solely because there is an unpaid balance owed by the student to the transferring school. This measure aims to ensure that a student's financial debt does not prevent the transfer of their academic records.
