HSLDA attorneys worked with state organizations to monitor more than 130,000 bills brought up for consideration in the 2023 legislative season. Some of those bills resulted in major wins, and others delivered setbacks.
Regardless of how it’s packaged, HSLDA is paying attention to any potential law that affects a family’s educational choices, and we take action when necessary.
Our work here is vital, and we strive to keep you informed. Even laws that don’t mention homeschooling can directly affect homeschooling families. Daytime curfews, jury duty requirements, or even zoning regulations can have a big impact. And others could directly limit or expand your homeschooling freedoms—adding to the burden of paperwork or restricting your choice of curriculum, for example.
