To The Daily Sun,
In 2025, the House looked at a bill (HB 751) that would establish a committee to study licensure of outpatient substance use disorder treatment facilities.
That bill didn’t make it, but hung around long enough for the Senate to amend it in 2026.
The bill was amended to authorizing parents to enroll their children in any public school in the state, and creating a limited exemption from parental consent required for certain recordings under the parental bill of rights.
What does the bill and the amendment have to do with the other? Nothing.
Except that SB 101, the Senate bill to authorizing parents to enroll their children in any public school in the state, was soundly defeated.
Seemed that this issue was decided.
Yet our local Sen. Tim Lang just couldn’t let that go. “We’re not done yet," and tacked it onto another bill that had nothing to do with education as an amendment.
Is this the state government we want? I don’t.
