HB 5311 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Education: other; violation of refusing to give information to a school census enumerator; eliminate. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1812a & repeals sec. 1812 of 1976 PA 451 (380.1812). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5310'25, HB 5312'25

HB 5311 amends Michigan's school code to address parents or guardians who intentionally provide false information about a child's name, age, or residency to enroll them in a school district outside their home area. If false information is given, the child can only enroll in that district the following school year through specific programs like interdistrict choice or cooperative agreements - *not* regular enrollment. The bill also prohibits unenrolling the child from their current school during the same school year. This replaces an existing section (MCL 380.1812) and requires companion bills (HB 5310 and HB 5312) to pass simultaneously.
