Good. It needs regulating because many "home schooled" children aren't getting educated at all. All this bill does is say home schooled kids have to pass the same standardized tests as kids going to regular schools and if the kid doesn't pass then obviously home schooling isn't working and the child would have to then attend an actual accredited school.
That doesn't sound unreasonable to me. It just is a check to see if the child is actually receiving an education or not.

Everyone has to take the SAT to get into college.
That group that he wants to eliminate has a 98% college attendance rate from their students.
Is that a number that would raise a red flag and call for changes and "accountability" ?

Not sure that is a real number seeing it is hard to calculate the number of students that are home schooled and the number that apply for college, though it might be easier to count how many apply to college and get in, but that also doesn't tell you much.
If you look at the number of students that go to school through public or private over home school is going to crush the number of students that are home schooled in this country, which makes it near impossible to compare the different groups.

They have memberships in groups. That's what this bill wants to do..eliminate those membership groups.
There's a lot about home schooling you may not realize and that would be due to media not telling the entire story of home schooling. Many think it's like every man for himself and that families are doing this in their own little bubble. That's not exactly how it works.

Possibly, I just have no interest in doing home schooling with any child I have.

I would love to Home School my kids but I wasn't given the patience to deal with kids ALL day like that lol...my kids are very bright and soon enough will be in private schools or public charter schools.

Wrong. not all schools administer SAT's and not all colleges look at SAT results.
