Summary

The bill stops nonpublic schools that receive state funding from refusing to give a current or former student, or the student's parent or guardian, a transcript if the student has an unpaid debt. It also bans any extra fees, harsher treatment, or using the transcript process to collect that debt. The goal is to ensure students can access their records regardless of financial issues.
