HB 2604 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes transfer procedures to nonresident districts for students in public schools

HB 2604 establishes procedures for students to transfer to nonresident school districts in Missouri. It requires proof of residency at registration but creates a waiver process for hardship cases (excluding athletic ability), with exemptions for homeless students, military families, and others under specific circumstances. The bill mandates school districts to share student records within specified timelines during transfers and sets consequences for false residency claims. It directly affects students moving districts, particularly those in vulnerable situations like homelessness or military relocations.
