The bill enacted by the Louisiana Legislature introduces new provisions regarding parental consent and the registration of children from military families in the education system. Specifically, it allows for the registration and preliminary enrollment of these children prior to residency, ensuring that various factors such as having an individualized education program, qualifying for special education services, or receiving accommodations under the Rehabilitation Act do not hinder their enrollment. This aims to facilitate smoother transitions for military families as they relocate.

Additionally, the bill mandates that local education agencies provide a ten-day notice to parents or legal guardians before initiating special education services or making changes to a child's individualized education program. The notice can be delivered through various means, including certified mail, email, text message, or an online portal. Parents are also granted the right to postpone meetings regarding their child's education plan if they contact the agency in advance. This legislation seeks to enhance communication and ensure that parents are adequately informed and involved in their children's educational processes.
