Summary

The bill adds a new Education Code section that obligates the State Department of Education to notify school districts, county offices and charter schools about Holocaust and genocide curriculum requirements and to survey them on implementation. It also establishes a grant program, funded by the state treasury, to give direct allocations for instructional materials, events, teacher training and related costs. The goal is to ensure consistent, age‑appropriate instruction on these topics across the state.
