Below is the list of LSR's that are being considered for tracking. Some will be dropped because the sponsor no longer wishes to support this bill at this time. Some are duplicate efforts, and will be merged into one bill. This list is meant to be inclusive; the spirit in which it is assembled is to include anything that might remotely attract the attention of a significant number of homeschoolers. Those bills which turn out to be of little interest will not be tracked.
I have assigned priorities for tracking these bills:
|
Red - Very high likelihood this will impact most homeschoolers |
|
Fuschia - Very high likelihood this will impact a subpopulation of homeschoolers |
|
Green - Some likelihood; description is too vague to determine |
|
Aqua - Not likely to impact homeschoolers, but it is in a policy area that has affected us in the past |
|
White - possibly of interest to homeschoolers |
