Creating penalties for county and state boards of education for providing misinformation to parents, custodians, reviewers, or any other individual through any form of communication

HB 4066 imposes fines on West Virginia county and state boards of education for providing false or misleading information to parents about homeschooling and educational rights. It levies $500 per incident for general misinformation (e.g., incorrect homeschool filing guidance) and $5,000 for errors on official websites/social media, with daily penalties. Fines go directly to affected parents or to homeschool advocacy groups like the West Virginia Home Educators Association. The bill specifically targets inaccuracies regarding homeschool paperwork (Notice of Intent), diploma validity, public school access for homeschooled students, and HOPE Scholarship eligibility. Its goal is to ensure accurate information and protect parental rights in education.
