OSHA; administrative
remedies
HB 2640 amends statute dealing with administrative remedies for the Arizona Industrial Commission relative to occupational safety and health.
A strike-everything amendment will be offered in the Commerce and Economic Development Committee.
A proposed strike-everything amendment to HB2640 allows a child to be excessively absent from school without being adjudicated as an incorrigible child if the absences are excused by a parent or guardian.
Currently it is unlawful for any child between the ages of 6 and 16 to fail to attend school unless the child is excused under statutory guidelines, the child is accompanied by a parent or person authorized by a parent, or the child is home schooled. In addition, a child who is habitually truant or who has excessive absences may be adjudicated as an incorrigible child. Absences may be considered excessive when the number of absent days exceeds 10% of the number of required attendance days prescribed by law.
The strike-everything amendment to HB 2640 adds absences excused by a parent or guardian as an attendance exemption and removes the authority to adjudicate an excessively absent child as an incorrigible child.
· Expands school attendance exemptions to include a child who has absences excused by either the child’s parent or guardian.
· Removes language allowing an excessively absent child to be adjudicated as an incorrigible child.
· Eliminates the definition of excessive absences.
