AI Summary
This bill requires school districts to permit students up to five excused absences per school year for mental or behavioral health reasons. The absences will be recorded as excused and will not count against the student's attendance record or perfect attendance status. The bill also directs the Commissioner of Education, in consultation with the Commissioner of Health, to develop guidelines on defining an excused absence based on a student's mental or behavioral health. The bill will take effect 180 days after enactment but will remain inoperative until the start of the next full school year, allowing the Commissioner of Education to take necessary preparatory actions for implementation.
