AN ACT relating to status offenses.

Summary

The bill would start a four‑year pilot called the SOAR Program in at least ten public school districts. It targets students in grades six through twelve who miss school without excuse, requiring them and their caregivers to work with a newly formed RISE team to identify and fix attendance barriers. The goal is to reduce chronic truancy and related status‑offense cases by providing coordinated support rather than immediate court action.
