Senate Bill 741 and Assembly Bill 1341 are identical. These bills would require every homeschool child and parent to meet annually with a school official for a “general health and wellness check.”

S741 and A1341 are nearly identical to two bills that were introduced last year (S4589 and A5796). Last year’s bills were withdrawn during the previous legislature’s lame duck session after substantial public response.

–> Creates government oversight where none is justified. The bill assumes homeschool families require monitoring despite no evidence of widespread harm, shifting New Jersey away from its long-standing tradition of educational freedom and trust in families.
–> Creates inequitable treatment. Homeschool students would face requirements that private school students do not, even though both are legally educated outside the public system.
–> Vague language invites inconsistent local enforcement. The bill does not clearly define what a “general health and wellness check” entails, what questions may be asked, or what standards apply. That ambiguity leaves wide discretion to individual districts, creating the risk of uneven expectations, subjective judgments, and unpredictable requirements depending on where a family lives.

L.B. 1224 would block parents from withdrawing their children to homeschool based on nothing more than an allegation during a child welfare investigation — before any finding, before due process! This bill could be easily be weaponized as a way to stop families who want to leave Government School! Tell Nebraska politicians: Reject L.B. 1224 and defend parental rights.

H.B. 2, or the “Mississippi Education Freedom Act”, would establish the Magnolia Student Accounts program, which would create a source of government funding for homeschool families.

For years HSLDA has consistently opposed various efforts across the country to fund private home education with public money. We are asking you to stand with us.

Currently, H.B 2 contains some protection for homeschool students who participate in the program, namely an exemption from the assessment requirements. However, that does not eliminate the possibility that further amendments or future legislation would not strip away these protections.

A Tennessee bill would let judges decide whether parents are “allowed” to homeschool–based on a school’s truancy report. That’s not parental rights — and we’re NOT happy to see Republicans doing the Democrats’ dirty work in Nashville! Sign the petition to stop SB 1968 / HB 1823 now.

Help Us FIGHT BACK Against Republican Rep. Slater’s nasty HB-1729 — a bill that would force homeschoolers to submit to layers of new government regulations, and culminates in FORCING homeschool parents to enroll their student in the government school system if they don’t do well enough on a standardized test! OUTRAGEOUS! Sign the petition now!
