10	10	AN ACT to amend 118.51 (3m) (b) 4. of the statutes; relating to: alternative
11	11	open enrollment application procedures for residency change based on
12	12	military orders.
13	13	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
14	14	Under the full-time open enrollment program (OEP), a pupil may attend a
15	15	public school in a school district other than the pupil[s resident school district
16	16	(nonresident school district). Under current law, the standard OEP application
17	17	procedure requires a pupil[s parent to apply to a nonresident school district during
18	18	the spring semester immediately preceding the school year in which the pupil
19	19	wishes to attend the nonresident school district. Current law also provides an
20	20	alternative application procedure that allows a pupil[s parent to apply to a
21	21	nonresident school district at any time during the school year, if certain
22	22	circumstances apply. One of those circumstances is that the place of residence of
23	23	the pupil and the pupil[s parent or guardian has changed as the result of military
24	24	orders. Under current law, an alternative application based on this circumstance
25	25	must be received by no later than 30 days after the date on which the applicable
26	26	military orders were issued. This bill extends this deadline to 90 days after the
27	27	applicable military orders were issued and expressly states that military orders
28	28	include orders from a reserve component of the U.S armed force and the national
29	29	guard of any state.

43	43	application no later than 30 90 days after the date on which the military orders
44	44	changing the place of residence were issued. For purposes of this subdivision, a
45	45	military order includes an order from any branch of the U.S. armed forces, a reserve
