The proposed bill mandates that any private school in Arkansas that accepts state funding must provide transportation for its enrolled students who reside within thirty-five miles of the school. This requirement is outlined in a new section added to the Arkansas Code, specifically under Title 6, Chapter 20, Subchapter 1. The bill specifies that the transportation must be fully covered by the private school itself.

Additionally, the bill defines a "private school" as a nonpublic institution offering K-12 education that receives any form of state funding. This legislation aims to ensure that students attending private schools with state support have access to necessary transportation, thereby promoting equitable access to education regardless of a family's transportation resources.
