In determining the standard of requirements for admission to any public post-secondary educational institution, the board of regents, governing board or community college board shall not require a student who has completed the requirements of a home-based or nonpublic school educational program and who has submitted test scores that otherwise qualify the student for admission to that institution to obtain or submit proof of having obtained a high school equivalency credential. In determining requirements for admission, the board of regents, governing board or community college board shall evaluate and treat applicants from home-based or nonpublic educational programs fairly and in a nondiscriminatory manner.
