relative to access to curricular courses and cocurricular programs within school districts.

The bill's status label changed from 'As Amended by the House' to 'Version Adopted by Both Bodies,' reflecting that the final version passed both legislative chambers without further amendment.

A page number (07/09) was added to the document header.

The bill's title and purpose changed from 'permitting all students the choice to attend the school district in which they reside' to 'relative to access to curricular courses and cocurricular programs within school districts,' narrowing the focus from general attendance rights to specific course and program access.

The broad reference to 'any other state-based education program under RSA 194-F' was removed, replacing it with the specific named category of 'education freedom account.'

'Education freedom account' was added as a named category of students entitled to access curricular courses and cocurricular programs, appearing in the section heading, body text, and policy restrictions.

Explicit access to the statewide assessment and preliminary scholastic aptitude test (PSAT) was added as part of the programs students can access.

Section II now references both RSA 193:1 and RSA 193-A when stating that nothing in the section requires a parent to establish a home education program exceeding statutory requirements, broadening the reference to include the new home education statute.

A fiscal note was added (replacing a placeholder stating the LBA was unable to complete one), acknowledging the bill will likely result in significant cost at local or state level but that costs are indeterminable. The note explains two policy principles: districts receive state funding only when required to educate a student, and the state does not double-pay for a primary pathway.

The phrase 'age 21 inclusive' was shortened to 'age 21' in the definition of home educated pupil with a disability.
