Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 1131, the definition of "emergency" has been clarified to align with existing state law and can now also include a federal declaration of emergency. Instead of a broad and complex definition that included various circumstances, the new language simplifies the criteria for what constitutes an emergency in the context of private schools. This change is important because it helps ensure that private schools are prepared and responsive to recognized emergencies, fostering a safer environment for students.
