Committee orders print of bill to create "lanes" for virtual education
Summary
Senator Dave Lent asked the Judiciary and Rules Committee to print RS32739, describing it as a course correction to establish sideboards and lanes for virtual education; the committee approved the request and will forward the printed RS to the Education Committee.
Senator Dave Lent asked the Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee to print RS32739, which he described as a course correction for Idaho's fragmented virtual education landscape and an effort to create "lanes" for virtual education providers.
"This bill is a course correction for Idaho's fragmented virtual education landscape," Lent said. "We're trying to create some lanes so that this new area of education in our educational landscape has some, basically some sideboards to work with." He asked that the RS be printed so it could be referred to the Education Committee for further work.
Senator Shippey moved to send RS32739 to print; Senator Wintrow seconded the motion. The committee approved the motion by voice vote and the RS was ordered to print and will be referred to the Education Committee.
The transcript records no extended discussion, cost estimates, or specific regulatory provisions for the proposal. The sponsor framed the RS as an initial step to create guardrails for virtual education and requested the print to enable a fuller hearing in the Education Committee.
