TO REQUIRE A PRIVATE SCHOOL THAT ACCEPTS STATE FUNDING OF ANY TYPE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO CERTAIN STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE SCHOOL.
House Bill 1541 would have required private schools in Arkansas that accept any form of state funding to provide transportation services. These services would be for students enrolled in the school who live within a 35-mile radius. The bill specified that the private school would be responsible for covering the entire cost of this transportation. This measure aimed to ensure transportation for eligible students attending state-funded private K-12 schools.
