Licensing rules delayed for residential private schools

The law delays some new licensing and oversight rules for residential private schools until July 1, 2026. Current rules stay in place until then. The act itself takes effect now because of an emergency clause. Schools get one more year to prepare. Families and students wait longer for any new protections in those delayed sections.
