SCH CD-RELIGIOUS HAIRSTYLES

Summary

The bill changes the Illinois School Code so that any non‑public elementary or secondary school that registers with the State Board of Education must promise not to forbid religious hairstyles, hair‑related religious practices, or facial hair. It also prevents school uniform or dress‑code rules from targeting those religious expressions. The measure aims to protect students’ and employees’ sincerely held religious rights.
