Chapter 1110 of the 2026 Acts of the Assembly directs the “Department of Education (VDOE) in consultation with the Virginia State Crime Commission, to evaluate and make recommendations on compliance with and enforcement of the statutory prohibition on knowingly making false statements concerning a child's residency in a particular school division or school attendance zone for school enrollment." The statutory prohibition it refers to is codified in § 22.1-264.1 of the Code of Virginia, which states the following:

“Any person who knowingly makes a false statement concerning the residency of a child, as determined by § 22.1-3, in a particular school division or school attendance zone, for the purposes of (i) avoiding the tuition charges authorized by § 22.1-5 or (ii) enrollment in a school outside the attendance zone in which the student resides, shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor and shall be liable to the school division in which the child was enrolled as a result of such false statements for tuition charges, pursuant to § 22.1-5, for the time the student was enrolled in such school division."
