The bill, enacted as Act No. 512, introduces new provisions regarding parental consent and the registration of children from military families in Louisiana. It establishes that certain factors, such as having an individualized education program or qualifying for special education services, will not prevent a child from registering prior to residency and preliminary enrollment in school. This aims to facilitate the educational process for military families who may face unique challenges due to frequent relocations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that local education agencies must provide a ten-day notice to parents or legal guardians before initiating special education services or making changes to a child's individualized education program. The notice can be delivered through various methods, including certified mail, email, text message, or an online portal. This ensures that parents are adequately informed and can participate in decisions regarding their child's education, while also allowing for the postponement of meetings if necessary.
