The bill amends the Revised School Code of Michigan, specifically section 1135, to update terminology and clarify procedures regarding the enrollment of pupils in school districts, public school academies, or intermediate school districts. Key changes include replacing the term "student" with "pupil" and "person" with "individual" throughout the text. Additionally, the bill stipulates that upon a pupil's first enrollment, the enrolling individual must be notified in writing that they must provide either a copy of the pupil's birth certificate or other reliable proof of identity and age within 30 days.

Furthermore, if the enrolling individual fails to comply, the school must notify them in writing and refer the case to local law enforcement if compliance is not achieved within the specified timeframe. The bill also introduces a new requirement that schools must not provide a pupil's student record to another school unless they have written confirmation of the pupil's enrollment in that school. Lastly, it maintains the confidentiality of personally identifiable information in student records, ensuring compliance with federal privacy laws.
