SB 1925 strengthens truancy enforcement laws by reinstating mandatory truancy prevention measures in schools and requiring attendance officers to refer truant students to court if they meet the statutory absence threshold. The bill removes jury trial rights for truant students and requires truancy cases to be adjudicated solely by a judge. It also extends the deadline for filing truancy petitions from 45 to 60 days after the last unexcused absence.
