AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding charter school enrollment preferences by removing a provision related to the COVID-19 emergency and adding a new preference for students residing within the boundaries of a political subdivision that contains the charter school, provided their current school is at capacity. The bill also clarifies the definition of "open enrollment threshold" and "school of residence" by referencing another section of law and defines "refugee" as someone eligible for benefits from the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement. Additionally, it sets an effective date for these changes as July 1, 2026.
