The bill authorizes full-time students enrolled in virtual schools or programs in Alabama to complete state-required assessments through closed browser remote testing, starting with the 2025-2026 school year, contingent upon available funding. It outlines specific conditions for administering these assessments, including the requirement for assessments to be conducted on assigned dates and times, the presence of a designated proctor monitoring the student via video, and maintaining a student-to-proctor ratio of 10 to 1 or lower. Additionally, it stipulates that the assessment proctor must be a teacher with a valid Alabama professional education certificate.

The bill also includes exemptions for public institutions of higher education and for college readiness or workforce readiness assessments until they are available for remote access. The legal language that is inserted into current law includes provisions for the administration of assessments in a virtual setting and the conditions that must be met, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the text provided. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
