AI Summary
- Creates the "PROM Act" (Participation in Recreation Outside of Matriculation Act) establishing a social access pass program beginning in the 2026-2027 school year for home school students in grades 8-12
- Allows eligible home school students to participate in school-sponsored social activities (dances, social events, arts and cultural events, college and career fairs) at one public school within their attendance boundaries
- Permits public schools to charge a fee up to $25.00 for the social access pass, which is valid for one academic year and separate from individual event admission fees
- Requires home school students with social access passes to follow the same activity rules as enrolled students, while prohibiting schools from imposing additional restrictions beyond those in the statute
- Protects home school status by specifying participation does not constitute enrollment, does not trigger state funding or attendance credits, and does not grant schools authority over home-based education
