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, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the school district in cases where the enrolling individual fails to comply with these requirements. It mandates that the school district must notify the individual 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 provision that prohibits schools from providing a pupil's student record unless they have received written confirmation of the pupil's enrollment from the receiving school. Lastly, it maintains the confidentiality of personally identifiable information in student records, ensuring compliance with federal privacy laws.
