Denial of an education based on immigration status prohibited, and civil cause of action provided when right to education is denied based on immigration status.

Summary

The bill adds a new statutory category for citizenship or immigration status and bars schools from refusing enrollment, programs, or parental participation because of actual or perceived immigration status. It also requires schools to adopt policies by July 1, 2027 for handling law‑enforcement requests and gives families a civil right to sue if the rules are broken. The measure is intended to protect all children’s right to education, echoing the U.S. Supreme Court’s Plyler v. Doe decision, but it did not pass.
