DIGEST OF THE SENATE BILL AS RETURNED TO THE SENATE
SB 114 Reengrossed 2021 Regular Session Peacock
Proposed law requires a public school governing authority to allow a dependent child of an
active duty member of the U.S. Armed Forces, of the military reserve forces, the National
Guard, or a Department of Defense civilian to register and preliminarily enroll in a public
school under its jurisdiction prior to becoming a resident of the state, providing all of the
following apply:
(1)The student's parent or legal guardian is transferred or pending transfer to a military
installation or comparable duty location in the state.
(2)The student's parent or legal guardian provides a copy of the official military transfer
orders transferring the parent of legal guardian to a military installation or
comparable duty location in state to the public school governing authority.
(3)The student's parent or legal guardian completes and submits all required registration
and enrollment forms and documentation, except that proof of residence shall not be
required until ten days after the arrival date specified on the parent or legal guardian's
transfer orders.
Proposed law requires public school governing authorities to provide a student who registers
remotely the same enrollment opportunities available to resident students including
requesting and applying for school assignment, registering for courses, participating in
extracurricular activities, and applying for any school or program that requires an additional
request or application, including a lottery for admission to a specific school or program.
Proposed law provides that a student registered and enrolled pursuant to proposed law shall
not attend school until proof of residency is provided in accordance with the policies of the
school's governing authority.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
