HB 1268 (2026)

Relax notification and evaluation rules for home education, regulate PBMs

This bill is still active.

Last updated 2026-06-13 9:45 pm
Summary:

Modifies home education laws to remove the requirement for parents to notify the state unless participating in public school activities and makes annual evaluations optional. 

The House amended the bill to add other protections for parents who choose to home educate. For example, the amended bill allows families to seek damages if a person knowingly makes a report that alleges abuse or neglect predominantly on the basis that a child is home educated. However, the Senate removed some of those provisions.

The Senate then added regulations for Pharmacy Benefits Mangers (PBMs) to the bill.
