Provides for absence from school for the mental or behavioral health of the minor

Summary

The bill changes New York’s education law so a minor can be excused from school when mental or behavioral health issues require it, joining the existing religious‑observance exemption. It also creates a verification process for parents or guardians to request a release and shields schools from liability when they follow the rules. The goal is to give families a clear way to address health needs without harming a student’s attendance record.
