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 flexibility and opportunities for students participating in shared time educational programs.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new definition will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year and later. This amendment reflects a legislative intent to enhance educational options for students by recognizing the importance of career and technical education in the shared time framework.
