Hobbs Made Parents Pay to Enforce Their Rights
SB 1005 would have stopped schools from collecting fees against parents who sue under the Parents’ Bill of Rights. Vetoed.
Rights without remedies are press releases.
Hobbs vetoed fee protections for parents enforcing the Parents’ Bill of Rights, then kept vetoing follow-on parental remedies in later years.
If you’re a parent, the message is clear: you can have rights on paper — just don’t try to use them.
