AI Summary
This bill prohibits nonpublic schools that participate in state-funded education programs from refusing to provide a transcript or taking other punitive measures against a student or the student's parent/guardian because the student owes a debt to the school. The bill defines "debt" as any money, obligation, or sum owed to the school, but excludes the fee charged for the actual cost of providing the transcript. The bill aims to ensure that nonpublic schools cannot withhold transcripts or impose penalties on students due to outstanding debts, which can hinder the students' educational and professional opportunities.
