to Primary and Secondary Education (H)
Summary
The bill directs local school boards to permit pupils, with parent or guardian consent, to be excused for up to one hour per week to attend a moral‑instruction program offered by an approved outside group. Participation is voluntary, schools cannot charge fees, and the time counts as regular school attendance. Providers must submit detailed plans, carry insurance, pass background checks, and indemnify the district, while districts must report quarterly to the state education department.
