The bill aims to amend the eligibility requirements for students wishing to enroll in home schools 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 end of the semester to be eligible for home school enrollment.

By eliminating this requirement, the bill seeks to simplify the transition process for students moving from public schools to home schooling, thereby encouraging more families to consider home education without the burden of returning school property. The repeal of this provision is intended to enhance educational flexibility for families and reduce barriers to home school enrollment.
