AI Summary
This bill extends the effective dates related to licensing and oversight of residential private schools by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). Specifically, the bill changes two key dates in a previously enacted law: the preliminary progress report deadline is moved from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2026, and the final report deadline is moved from July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2027. Additionally, the effective date for Sections 2 and 4 of the original act is pushed back from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2026. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon signing, and it was passed to ensure the state has adequate time to complete its review and implementation of licensing requirements for residential private schools. The changes appear to provide more time for the DCYF to prepare and submit comprehensive reports on the licensing and oversight process.
