April 22 set for first hearing. Failed passage in committee. (Ayes 2. Noes 0.) Reconsideration granted.

Requires the state to create model guidelines for cities and counties on how to regulate microschools and micro-education entities. These are small private K–12 schools, generally serving 16 to 100 students (microschools serve 16 or fewer) and often operating in homes or residential spaces. They are private schools that have filed an affidavit under Section 33190 of the California Education Code, which is the law that allows private schools to operate by filing a simple declaration with the state. The model guidelines would cover things like safety, parking, hours, signage, and noise, but local governments would still decide whether to adopt them.
