Enacted
Summary
The bill changes state law so that a student cannot be excused from the minimum instructional minutes required for any subject, nor from any state‑ or federal‑mandated intervention, just to attend religious release time. It applies to all public schools and any student seeking time off for religious instruction. The change aims to keep educational standards and legal obligations intact while still allowing religious release programs.
