This legislation is focused on homeschoolers who are not in the public school system. Essentially, it says that the OSSE gets to determine if the homeschool program meets their undefined, arbitrary invisible level of approval.

Does that mean that homeschoolers don't have to do any better than the public school system?

That's a free pass.

I doubt it has anything to do with "results" and everything to do with instruction. It's not the academic progress of the child that is being regulated, it's the method and material used by the teaching parent. The results will be no better than the public school system, but at least the parents will be using OSSE approved methods and curriculum (or whatever they decide is appropriate).
