Assembly Bill 613 mandates that school principals notify the parents or guardians of students whenever a pupil is removed from the classroom, resulting in a reduction of instructional time. The notification must be in writing and delivered electronically by 5 p.m. on the day of the removal, unless the parent has opted out of electronic communication, in which case it must be sent via first-class mail. The bill also requires notification if an entire class is removed for safety drills. Additionally, principals are tasked with reporting the number of such removals to the school board annually, which in turn must report this information to the Department of Public Instruction.

The bill includes several new definitions and requirements: it renumbers and amends existing statutes to clarify the roles of "teacher" and "school principal," and it establishes specific criteria for the notifications, including that they must not contain personally identifiable information. The reporting requirements are set to begin in October 2027, with principals reporting to school boards and school boards reporting to the state superintendent. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
