The bill aims to amend the eligibility requirements for students wishing to enroll in home school by repealing the existing stipulation that mandates public school students to return temporarily issued items, resources, materials, and property belonging to their public school before they can enroll in a home school. Specifically, it removes the requirement that students must return these items or pay for them, or wait until the semester has ended to be eligible for home school enrollment.

By eliminating this requirement, the bill seeks to simplify the transition process for students moving from public school to home school, thereby encouraging more families to consider home schooling as a viable educational option. The repeal of this provision is intended to reduce barriers and facilitate a smoother enrollment process for students and their families.
