HOUSE BILL 566
RS31342 / H0566
This bill updates the statute addressing assessment exemptions and removes language regarding assessments no longer used in Idaho and include current state-mandated tests. This bill also provides an exemption for English language learning students, who have not been enrolled for two (2) full school years in the United States and who score less than a level two (2) on the state’s English language proficiency test, to be exempted from the Idaho Reading Indicator assessment. Schools must determine which students qualify for the exemption before the fall testing date.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact.
