Micro-education entities — small, privately operated learning programs sometimes called microschools — must already be treated as a permitted use in all zoning districts, but this bill clarifies that they are still fully subject to local zoning and land use rules, and it expands the list of regulations that cities and counties may specifically apply to them, including noise ordinances, lot-size requirements based on the number of students enrolled, and restrictions on which types of streets they may be located on. The bill also restructures how student capacity limits work: a microschool's enrollment cap is determined first by building occupancy codes, then by applicable zoning rules, but in no case may a micro-education entity enroll more than 100 students in a single facility. Local governments gain clearer authority to regulate where and how microschools operate, which could affect families and operators who rely on flexible or nontraditional spaces for small-group instruction.
