The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 126C.01, subdivision 8, to expand the definition of "shared time pupils." The new definition includes pupils who either attend public school career and technical education programs for secondary credit outside of the regular school day or fulfill the requirements of section 120A.22 by attending a nonpublic school. This change aims to provide greater clarity and inclusivity regarding the types of educational programs that qualify for shared time status.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the amendments will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year and later. This timeline allows for schools and educational institutions to prepare for the updated definitions and ensure compliance with the new regulations regarding shared time pupils.
