EFFECT OF THE AMENDMENT:  Strikes the requirement that when a student transfers to another school the student's records must be delivered within two days of a request for records.  Instead, information is required to transmitted within 2 days of the request, and the records sent as soon as possible.  School district employees who follow the procedure are protected from legal liability for the release of information.
