The bill in question aims to integrate home school students into public school career and technical education (CTE) programs. It defines key terms such as "Career and Technical Education," "Home School Student," and "State Board." Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, home school students will be allowed to participate in any CTE program offered by a public school, provided they enroll as nontraditional public school students. These students will be required to pay any course fees equivalent to those charged to enrolled public school students. In cases where a CTE program has limited enrollment capacity, home school students will be considered for enrollment after public school students have been accommodated.

The bill also outlines that the State Board of Education and local boards of education must adopt rules to implement and administer these provisions. It specifies that full-time, stand-alone career and technical education schools are not required to admit home school students to their programs, although they may choose to do so. Additionally, any course fees or other costs assessed to a student participating in a CTE program under this act will be considered a qualifying educational expense under the CHOOSE Act. The bill is set to become effective on August 1, 2024, and it passed with a significant majority, indicating strong legislative support for the integration of home school students into public CTE programs.
