Relating to exemptions of abbreviated school day program requirements; declaring an emergency.

SB 524 amends Oregon law to clarify which students are exempt from requirements for abbreviated school day programs. It directly affects students in specific situations, such as those with health-related absences, disciplinary placements, medically complex needs, or those meeting graduation requirements. The bill adds 15 specific exemptions to existing statutes, ensuring these students aren't subject to abbreviated day rules when they have meaningful access to equivalent instruction hours. It declares an emergency effective July 1, 2025, to implement these changes.
