Assembly Bill 570 proposes amendments to the statutes regarding the financial arrangements for pupils who withdraw from private schools participating in parental choice programs, the Special Needs Scholarship Program, or independent charter schools. The bill mandates that if a pupil withdraws from these schools during the school year and enrolls in a school district, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is required to pay any remaining scholarship or per pupil amount due to the private school or charter school directly to the school district where the pupil is now enrolled. This change aims to ensure that funding follows the student to their new educational setting.

The bill introduces new legal language in several sections of the statutes, specifically creating provisions under sections 115.7915, 118.40, 118.60, and 119.23. Each of these sections includes similar language that allows for the transfer of remaining funds from the private or charter school to the school district upon a pupil's withdrawal. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
