More exam access for home-study students

This law covers Georgia home-study students in grades 6–12 who meet state home-study rules and live within the school system. School systems must give them access to any PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, PreACT, ACT, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), or Advanced Placement (AP) exam offered to enrolled students. Their public websites must list exam dates, registration dates and steps, and a notice that resident home-study students can participate. Systems cannot charge these students fees that enrolled students do not have to pay. They also cannot add requirements beyond Georgia’s home-study rules or impose requirements that conflict with those rules.
