The bill proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code 6-18-317, which currently prohibits school district boards of directors from granting legal transfers of students under specific conditions. These conditions include situations where either the resident district or the receiving district is under a desegregation-related court order, and where the transfer would violate that court order. The existing law also requires that any legal student transfer be accompanied by an affidavit from the boards of directors of both districts, affirming that the transfer does not violate the prohibition.

By repealing this statute, the bill removes the restrictions on legal transfers related to desegregation court orders, thereby allowing school district boards greater flexibility in granting student transfers. The repeal also eliminates the requirement for affidavits and the associated penalties for non-compliance regarding state aid withholding, which were previously stipulated in the law.
