What this law does
The Education Reform Act's school-choice program gives priority for a certificate to the dependents of domestic violence victims who present a protection order, evidence that a domestic violence court case has begun, or a certification from a shelter, a victim services program or a support professional as part of a family safety plan. The data of domestic violence victims and of their dependents who take part in the program are confidential.
A person who, directly or through an agent, violates the program's chapter or its regulations commits a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months' imprisonment, a fine of up to $5,000, or both, at the court's discretion.
