Under the bill, schools, with sufficient evidence, could reject a student applying for enrollment. Additionally, Indiana’s Attorney General would be required to defend any school who would face any civil suit for denying enrollment.
The bill also requires schools submit an annual report with the number of undocumented students who are enrolled.
It now heads to the House Education Committee.
