Bill > HB06745

This bill aims to support military families relocating to the state by addressing three key areas of potential challenge. First, the bill seeks to facilitate employment opportunities for military spouses by implementing occupational licensure interstate compacts, which would make it easier for spouses to transfer their professional credentials across state lines and quickly find work. Second, the bill would increase educational flexibility by providing access to district open enrollment policies, allowing military children to more easily enroll in schools of their choice within the state. Third, for military children who require special education services, the bill proposes to streamline processes to ensure they can quickly establish comparable special education and related services in their new location, while also reducing the administrative burdens associated with due process proceedings. These provisions are designed to minimize disruptions and support the smooth transition of military families who are relocated to the state due to service members' orders, recognizing the unique challenges faced by military families when moving to a new community.
