SB 2075 Update and Action Required

Due to your efforts of this last week, the sponsor of SB 2075, which lowers the compulsory education age from six years of age to five years of age, did not choose to bring the bill up in committee. Our lobbyist believes it was because we filled out over 500 opposed witness slips versus 3 in favor. The sponsor is preparing to bring it up again on Tuesday, March 19th. ALL THE WITNESS SLIPS FROM LAST WEEK ARE NO LONGER VALID, SO WE EACH NEED TO CREATE ANOTHER WITNESS SLIP IN OPPOSITION. Our lobbyist is hoping for over 1,000 witness slips since we have more time.

We are joining with AdHoc, HSLDA, IFI, and other organization as this is a battle we must stay firm on as there is a global move—e.g. France—to drop the compulsory age down to 3 years old. Our legislators will chip away our rights if we don’t continue to stand strong and united. Please forward this email, not just to homeschoolers but to all who believe that parents should have the right to choose when to start their child’s formal education. If you have children who are registered voters in your home, make sure they too fill out witness slips as well.

Update On HB3560

The Sponsor is dropping the Homeschool Registration Bill.

ICHE’s Legislative Task Force is an active part of the AdHoc Committee for Homeschooling and Legislative Matters whose lobbyist just reported that the sponsor of HB3560 now promises that she will not move the bill.

There is no need for calls.

We will continue to watch it until it is actually tabled, but we believe the threat is over. Thank you all for your vigilance.

Threats like this serve to remind Christian homeschoolers that ICHE is here 365 days a year helping to protect your homeschooling freedoms.
