Below is the text of H.B. 1181 as passed by the committee on February 8.
Underlined language is new.
Underlined bold language is language that was added as an amendment during the hearing. The application for excuse shall be filed no later than thirty days before the alternative instruction is to begin. The time restriction does not apply in the case of students who begin residence in the school district less than thirty days before the alternative instruction is to begin. A parent or guardian may appeal to the school board for a waiver of the thirty-day requirement if the situation warrants it. Until the application for excuse is approved or the waiver is complete the student is not truant.
