"Released-Time Moral Instruction Act of 2026"; enact to permit students to receive religious instruction during the school day.

Summary

The bill would let local school boards approve a weekly hour during which students who have parental permission could attend religious or moral classes off campus. Those students would be counted as present and would not be penalized, while schools would not bear any cost beyond conducting a survey. It applies to all public (including charter) schools in the state.
