Still, I am a bit disappointed that no one from Michigan has replied yet but, perhaps they're busy calling our state legislators.
My main reason for writing this post was to let others know what is going on in Michigan who hadn't already heard about it. The other reason is that I wanted to know how people felt about the Bill and if they planned to contact Brenda Clack or one of the co-sponsors of the Bill.
Michigan has been a very friendly home-school state since 1996 and I do not want to see that change. And now, it very well could.

I am in Ohio, and we are required to notify annually, with all the same info you listed for Michigan. We are also required to provide a brief outline of the intended curriculum and a list of textbooks to be used. At the end of the year, we have to have a Portfolio Assessment (written narrative showing satisfactory progress) or standardized testing scores.
The county I live in is very laid back about homeschooling. I'm very happy about that. It takes a lot of pressure off. I can't imagine what its like for people in areas with stricter rules and requirements.

The following statement was taken from the Home School Legal Defense Association website (www.hslda.org).
"House Bill 5912: Requiring All Homeschoolers to Annually Notify Local Superintendent
Author:
Rep. Brenda Clack
Summary:
House Bill 5912 would require all homeschoolers to give the local superintendent the name and age of each child being homeschooled, the name of the school district where the parent resides, and the name and address of the parent every year.
Status:
3/19/2008(House) Introduced, referred to the Committee on Education."

This has taken me by complete surprise.
