MINOR

The bill text was updated from the House version to the Senate floor version, incorporating specific formatting changes and adding a new provision regarding tuition reimbursement for nonresident students. The most significant substantive addition is a requirement that if the State Board of Education finds a nonresident student was allowed to attend school without paying tuition, the receiving district must be reimbursed for those costs.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on school enrollment requirements, but the applicability for nonresident students has been expanded by adding a financial reimbursement mechanism for districts that accept them without tuition.

FISCAL

Added a requirement that the State Board of Education must order reimbursement to a school district if it discovers a nonresident student attended school without the required tuition payment being made in advance.

TECHNICAL

Updated page headers and footers to reflect the Senate Floor Version instead of the House Floor Version and adjusted the date to February 19, 2025.

Reordered the list of sponsors to place the Senate sponsor (Bullard) above the House sponsor (Stark) and adjusted the bill title and session information layout.

MODERATE

The bill was completely rewritten by the House Policy Committee to clarify and streamline the requirements for toilet training in prekindergarten. The new version simplifies the language, removes redundant provisions regarding early childhood program eligibility, and updates the definition of 'not toilet trained' to be more specific about the documentation required for exemptions.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on prekindergarten enrollment requirements, but the applicability of certain early childhood program rules was reduced by removing complex transfer and capacity clauses that were present in the original version.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for toilet training prior to prekindergarten enrollment was retained but the language was simplified and made more direct.

Complex rules regarding district capacity, resident vs. nonresident transfers, and specific early childhood program eligibility criteria were removed to simplify the statute.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'not toilet trained' was updated to specify 'three or more documented incidents of soiling or urinating over a four-week period' instead of the previous phrasing.

ENFORCEMENT

The process for handling untrained students was streamlined to allow districts to temporarily withdraw children, refer parents to support services, or allow guardians to assist, while clarifying that disabilities recognized by an IEP or 504 Plan exempt students from these rules.

The bill text was reformatted to conform to the Policy Committee Substitute style, including updated headers and page numbering.
