Committee restores open‑enrollment language, removes residency barrier for military students
Summary
The House committee voted to report House Bill 4274 out as "do pass" after a PCS restored language from the open‑enrollment act (Senate Bill 783) and removed a six‑month residency requirement so military families can enroll immediately; vote was 10–0.
Representative Miller presented House Bill 4274, saying the PCS restores language from the open‑enrollment act in Senate Bill 783 and removes a six‑month residency requirement for military families.
"We are also removing the 6 month residency requirement because obviously if you're military, you're not living in anyway," Representative Miller said, explaining the change is meant to avoid penalizing families who relocate for military service. The PCS also clarifies administrative acceptance for early enrollment.
The chair called for adoption and the committee agreed. The motion to report the bill out as "do pass" carried on a roll call announced as 10 aye, 0 nay. Representative Miller thanked the chair and committee after the vote.
The committee did not amend the PCS on the floor and the bill was reported to the next stage as a "do pass" recommendation. The committee indicated no further debate and closed the item with the unanimous vote.
