Bill > HB4120

This bill, concerning high school graduates in Arizona, directs the Department of Education to establish procedures for verifying high school graduation status using information already submitted to the Student Accountability Information System, which is a system used to track student data. These verification procedures must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law protecting the privacy of student education records. The Department of Education is also authorized to charge fees for these verification services, though they are not obligated to process more than one hundred requests annually. Furthermore, the bill mandates that by March 1st of each year, starting in 2027, the Department must report to the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the President of the Senate, and provide a copy to the Secretary of State, detailing the number of verification requests received and fulfilled, along with the associated costs and revenues from these services for the preceding calendar year.
