 required state or federal reporting.
   2.  The  commissioner of education shall provide that any test results
 on a state administered standardized English language arts or  mathemat-
 ics assessment for grades three through eight sent to parents or persons
 in parental relation to a student include a clear and conspicuous notice
 that  such  results will not be included on the student's official tran-
 script or in the student's permanent record and are  being  provided  to
 the student and parents for diagnostic purposes.
   3.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of law, rule or regulation to
 the contrary, the English language arts and  mathematics  state  assess-
 ments for grades three through eight shall not be utilized in any manner
 to  evaluate,  grade, or otherwise determine eligibility for advancement
 in grades of any student.
   ยง 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2021.
