Relating to requiring the State Board of Education to design, test, and deploy an internet-based reporting system to be known as the School Choice Portal
HB 3422 requires West Virginia's State Board of Education to create and implement an online "School Choice Portal" by August 1, 2025. The portal will let families using homeschooling or school choice options (covered under specific law sections) submit required notices and reports electronically instead of paper forms. Key features include secure access, role-based user controls, dashboards for families and school boards, and clear labeling of optional information. The system must be operational for the 2025-2026 school year and designed to serve all 55 counties uniformly.

MINOR
The bill text was updated to reflect its final 'Engrossed' status, replacing previous draft labels and adding a header indicating it is the official version passed by the legislature. A summary note explaining the bill's purpose was removed, likely to streamline the official document for publication.
Scope change
The scope of the bill itself remains unchanged; the text continues to require the creation of a school choice portal and consultation with specific stakeholders, but the document version has been finalized.
TECHNICAL
Updated document headers and labels from 'Committee Substitute' to 'Engrossed Version' to indicate the bill has passed its final committee stage.
Deleted a non-binding explanatory note and formatting instructions regarding strike-throughs and underscoring.
