Assembly Bill 122 proposes amendments to the open enrollment application procedures for students whose residency changes due to military orders. Currently, parents must submit applications to nonresident school districts within 30 days of receiving military orders. This bill extends that deadline to 90 days, allowing more time for families to adjust to their new circumstances. Additionally, the bill clarifies that military orders encompass those from any branch of the U.S. armed forces, including reserve components and the national guard of any state.

The bill aims to provide greater flexibility and support for military families navigating the open enrollment process, ensuring they have adequate time to apply for their children to attend schools in new districts. The changes are intended to ease the transition for students affected by military relocations, reflecting a commitment to accommodate the unique challenges faced by these families.
