AN ACT relating to status offenses.

Summary

The bill establishes a four‑year SOAR pilot in at least ten Kentucky public school districts to identify and remove barriers to attendance for students in grades 6‑12. It creates RISE teams in each participating school to develop family‑specific improvement plans and provide case‑management services, and it tightens rules on when a status‑offending child may be detained. The measure also adds reporting requirements and new penalties for violating its provisions.
