HB 1268 (2026)
Relax notification and evaluation rules for home education, add protections
This bill is still active.
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.
